Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these hubs compatible with my DC10 drift car? — Yes, the Team Associated DC10 FT Aluminium Hubs (AS72278) are specifically designed for the DC10 drift chassis platform. These genuine OEM components are classified as option parts for the DC10, ensuring complete compatibility with your drift car's suspension and drivetrain systems.
- Why should I choose genuine Team Associated parts over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Team Associated parts are engineered to exact factory specifications and have been thoroughly tested by the manufacturer.

Aftermarket parts may introduce compatibility issues or alter your chassis geometry, potentially affecting drift performance and precision.
- Will these aluminium hubs improve my DC10's performance? — As a replacement component, these hubs maintain the factory performance characteristics of your DC10 rather than providing performance improvements. However, if your existing hubs are damaged or worn, replacing them with genuine parts restores your chassis to optimal handling and ensures consistent performance. The lightweight aluminium construction helps maintain the responsive, precise steering feel essential to drift driving.

- What do I need to do to install these hubs on my DC10? — Installation requirements depend on your specific DC10 configuration and whether you're replacing existing hubs or building a new chassis. We recommend consulting the official Team Associated DC10 assembly guide or contacting our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop for detailed installation instructions specific to your setup.
- Are these hubs suitable for beginners? — These are a replacement component rather than a complete RC car, so they're intended for existing DC10 owners who need to repair or upgrade their drift chassis. If you're new to RC drifting and don't yet own a DC10, you'll need to purchase a complete DC10 drift car kit or ready-to-run model first. Our team at RC Model Shop can help you find the right starter drift setup.
