Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Team Associated DR10M Arm Mount C suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement suspension component rather than a complete RC car, so it's designed for users who already own a DR10M platform and need to maintain or repair their vehicle. If you're completely new to RC cars, you'll want to start with a ready-to-run RC car UK option first, then use parts like this AS72078 for ongoing maintenance and upgrades as you develop your skills and knowledge.
- How do I know if AS72078 is the correct arm mount for my DR10M? — This is specifically the "C" variant of the arm mount, so it's essential to check your DR10M kit manual or vehicle documentation before purchasing to confirm this is the right part for your model. Different DR10M configurations may use different arm mount variants, so verification is crucial to ensure compatibility.
- Why should I replace my arm mount? — Suspension components like arm mounts experience wear through regular use, including vibration, impact stress and the constant movement involved in cornering and acceleration. When these mounts show signs of wear, they can develop slight play or misalignment that affects how your RC car handles. Replacing with a genuine OEM part restores the tight tolerances and precise geometry that define your DR10M's performance characteristics, ensuring consistent, predictable handling whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual weekend sessions.
- What is the difference between this and aftermarket arm mounts? — The AS72078 is a genuine Team Associated OEM component manufactured to the exact specifications that engineers used when designing the DR10M platform. This guarantees perfect compatibility, precise dimensions and materials that match the rest of your suspension system. Aftermarket alternatives may offer cost savings, but genuine parts ensure you maintain the exact handling characteristics and geometric accuracy that define the DR10M's reputation in the RC racing community.
- Can I install this myself? — The AR10M Arm Mount C is designed as a direct replacement component, meaning installation should be straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience and standard tools like hex drivers. However, it's always recommended to consult your DR10M kit manual for specific installation guidance and torque specifications to ensure proper assembly.
- Is this part essential for my DR10M? — If your current arm mounts show visible wear, damage or play, replacing them with genuine components like the AS72078 is essential for maintaining reliable performance. For preventative maintenance or if you're simply keeping spares on hand, this part is invaluable for minimising downtime during race meetings or weekend RC sessions.
