Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Team Associated DC10 Gearbox suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete car, so it's intended for users who already own a Team Associated DC10 and have experience with RC car maintenance and repair. If you're new to RC cars, you may want to start with a ready-to-run RC car UK model before tackling drivetrain component replacement.
- What does the DC10 Gearbox do and why might I need a replacement? — The gearbox is a critical drivetrain component that transfers power from the motor to the wheels. After extended use, particularly in drift applications where the drivetrain works harder, the gearbox may wear and require replacement. Having a genuine spare ensures you can maintain your DC10 in peak condition during routine servicing or complete rebuilds.
- Will this gearbox fit my DC10 drift car without modifications? — Yes, this is listed as a standard fitment part for the DC10 platform, meaning it drops straight in without adapters or modifications. The grey colour also matches the original DC10 aesthetic, maintaining factory appearance once installed.
- How do I know this is a genuine Team Associated part? — This gearbox comes under the part number AS72251 and carries the barcode 784695722514, identifying it as an authentic Team Associated component. Purchasing from RC Model Shop, an authorised Associated dealer, ensures you're receiving genuine OEM spares rather than inferior aftermarket alternatives.
- What is included when I purchase this gearbox? — You receive the gearbox itself, finished in grey. Depending on your DC10 setup, you may need additional bearing kits, shims, or lubricants to complete the installation, though these are typically items you'd already have from your maintenance kit.
- How often should I replace my DC10 gearbox? — The frequency depends on your usage intensity. Regular casual driving might require replacement every season or two, while competitive drift applications or intensive bashing may necessitate more frequent replacement. Routine inspection during maintenance sessions will help you identify when replacement becomes necessary.
