Technical Performance

The AS72222 shock spring cups are engineered with the precision required for competition-grade RC drift racing. As part of the DC10 platform—a drift car that represents Team Associated's engineering excellence and 60+ years of racing heritage—these components must deliver absolute reliability under the demanding conditions of drift driving. The aluminium material selection provides an optimal balance between weight savings and structural integrity, crucial for maintaining responsive suspension geometry during high-speed drift manoeuvres. The cups' design ensures that shock springs remain securely seated under the lateral forces and suspension articulation that occur during drift transitions and sustained cornering. Built to the same exacting standards as the rest of the DC10's suspension system, the AS72222 shock spring cups contribute to the overall handling precision and consistency that makes the DC10 such a capable platform for RC drift enthusiasts in the UK and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these shock spring cups compatible with my DC10 Drift Car? — Yes, the AS72222 are specifically designed for the Team Associated DC10 Drift Car and provide perfect fitment with the stock suspension system. These are genuine Team Associated parts engineered to exact specifications for the DC10 platform.
• Why would I need replacement shock spring cups? — Shock spring cups experience wear through normal use as springs compress and release repeatedly during driving. Over time, the cups may wear or become damaged through aggressive driving or impact. Keeping spares ensures you can quickly restore your suspension to optimal condition, whether for maintenance or competition preparation.
• What makes aluminium shock spring cups better than plastic alternatives? — Aluminium offers superior durability and a longer lifespan compared to plastic cups, resisting deformation under the repeated compression forces of drift driving. Aluminium also provides better heat dissipation and maintains its structural integrity through intensive use, making it the preferred material choice for competition-grade RC suspension components.
• How do I know which shock components I need? — The DC10 has a comprehensive suspension parts range available. The AS72222 shock spring cups work alongside other components including shock bodies (AS72226), shock pistons (AS72235), shock spacers (AS72266), shock shafts (AS72223), and shock bladders (AS72224). Genuine Team Associated part numbers make identification straightforward during maintenance.
• Can I use these cups on other RC cars? — The AS72222 shock spring cups are specifically engineered for the DC10 Drift Car platform. For other RC vehicles, you should use parts designed for your specific model to ensure proper fitment and performance.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — Shock spring cup replacement is a straightforward maintenance task that beginners can handle with basic tools. However, these are replacement/spare parts rather than a complete product, so they're best suited to DC10 owners already familiar with their car's maintenance.
