Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a shock body and why do I need to replace it? — The shock body is the outer casing of your RC car's shock absorber assembly. Over time, through normal use, racing, or impacts, shock bodies can become bent, cracked, or worn, which affects how your suspension performs. A damaged shock body won't hold fluid properly, won't compress smoothly, and can cause handling issues. Replacing it with this genuine AS72226 part restores your suspension to working condition and ensures your drift car handles predictably.
- Is this part compatible with my Team Associated DC10? — Yes, this shock body is specifically designed for DC10-based drift cars. To confirm compatibility with your specific build, refer to your vehicle manual and cross-reference part number AS72226. If you're unsure, contact our team at RC Model Shop and we'll be happy to verify fitment for your particular configuration.
- Do I need any other parts to complete the installation? — The AS72226 is the shock body component only. Depending on the condition of your existing suspension, you may need to source shock springs, fluid, seals, or pistons if they are worn or damaged. Consult your DC10 manual to identify all suspension components and determine what else may require replacement during your maintenance schedule.
- What is the difference between genuine Team Associated parts and aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM parts like this shock body are manufactured to the exact specifications your RC car was designed around. They guarantee perfect fitment, proper performance characteristics, and reliability. Aftermarket alternatives may fit loosely, perform differently, or fail prematurely. For RC cars where handling precision matters—especially in drift racing—genuine parts are the only sensible choice.
- How do I know if my shock body needs replacing? — Signs include visible cracks, dents, or bending; leaking shock fluid; rough or binding compression feel; or uneven suspension travel. If any of these symptoms appear, it's time to replace the shock body with this genuine AS72226 component.
