Technical Performance
The Upper Link Mount is a precision-engineered suspension component that plays a vital role in maintaining the geometric accuracy of your Team Associated RC8B4 or RC8B4e buggy. This component interfaces with the upper suspension links and works in conjunction with your vehicle's suspension system to maintain proper ride height, camber angles, and overall platform geometry. During aggressive RC racing or bashing, upper link mounts experience considerable stress from cornering forces, acceleration, and terrain impacts, which can cause wear or damage over extended use. By replacing a worn or damaged Upper Link Mount with this genuine OEM part, you restore your RC buggy to its original engineering specifications, ensuring that your suspension geometry remains true and your handling characteristics remain predictable and responsive. The manufacturing precision of Team Associated components means that this Upper Link Mount will integrate perfectly with your existing RC8B4 platform without requiring additional modifications or adjustments.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
