Key Features
- Front and Rear Shock Towers Included — This single part number AS7808 covers both the front and rear shock tower assemblies for the RC10T, making it convenient to replace worn components across your entire suspension system in one purchase rather than ordering multiple individual parts.
- Genuine Team Associated OEM Component — These are authentic original equipment manufacturer parts produced by Team Associated, the designers and manufacturers of the RC10T platform, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with no guesswork involved.
- Designed for RC10T Platform — Engineering specificity matters in RC cars; these shock towers are engineered precisely for the RC10T, maintaining correct suspension geometry, ride height, camber angles and overall suspension performance that your buggy requires.
- Ideal for Maintenance and Restoration — Whether you're performing routine maintenance after wear and tear from regular bashing, repairing damage from impact or crashes, or undertaking a complete restoration of a classic RC10T, these towers are the correct replacement choice.
- Maintains Suspension Geometry — Worn or damaged shock towers can alter suspension angles and geometry, affecting handling, cornering grip and stability; fresh towers restore the suspension to factory specification and dependable operation.
Technical Performance
The RC10T shock towers are engineered components that form critical parts of the suspension mounting system on your RC buggy. As structural suspension components rather than consumable parts, they are manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure that the shock absorbers, springs and suspension linkages remain correctly positioned and aligned during use. The suspension geometry of any RC10T directly affects how the vehicle handles on the track or bash field — camber angle, caster angle, roll centre height and anti-squat characteristics all depend on having properly fitted, undamaged shock towers. When shock towers become worn, cracked or bent from impacts, these angles change and the vehicle's handling becomes unpredictable. By fitting genuine Team Associated replacements, you restore your RC10T's suspension to its original engineering specification. The RC10T is a 1/10 scale 2WD off-road buggy platform renowned for its precision handling and durability, and these shock towers are essential to maintaining that performance standard. These parts are manufactured to the same quality standards as the rest of the RC10T platform, ensuring years of reliable service whether you're running your buggy casually on weekends or competing seriously at club level.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the RC10T and why do I need replacement shock towers for it? — The RC10T is a legendary 1/10 scale 2WD off-road buggy platform from Team Associated, widely used for both recreational bashing and competitive racing across the UK and worldwide. Shock towers are structural components that mount your shock absorbers and connect your suspension to the chassis. Over time, through normal driving, wear and tear, or impact from crashes, these towers can become bent, cracked or damaged, compromising suspension geometry and handling. Replacement towers restore your RC10T to factory specification.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, absolutely. These are authentic OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts produced by Team Associated, the company that designed and manufactures the RC10T. Using genuine parts ensures perfect fitment and compatibility with your vehicle, and maintains the engineering integrity of your RC buggy.

- Do I need to replace both front and rear shock towers at the same time? — This part includes both front and rear towers under the single AS7808 part number, so you have the option to replace one or both depending on your needs.
