Team Associated B6/B6.1 Hinge Pin Set Suspension Spares AS91670

Overview

The Associated B6/B6.1 Hinge Pin Set AS91670 is an essential genuine spare part for anyone running the Team Associated B6-series 2WD buggy range. Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your RC buggy to the limit or a weekend basher enjoying casual track time, suspension maintenance is critical to maintaining peak performance. These hinge pins are the small but vital components that allow your buggy's suspension arms to pivot smoothly, and over time, regular running and racing can cause them to wear or bend, compromising your vehicle's handling and geometry.

If you've noticed your RC buggy's suspension feeling less responsive, or if you've had a heavy crash that may have bent suspension components, replacing worn hinge pins is one of the most straightforward and effective maintenance tasks you can perform. This genuine Team Associated spare is manufactured to the exact specifications required by the B6 platform, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance. Available at RC Model Shop, this is the authorised spare part trusted by competitive teams and casual enthusiasts across the UK RC community.

Maintaining your suspension geometry with quality replacement parts like this hinge pin set helps restore predictable handling characteristics, ensures consistent turn-in response, and extends the overall lifespan of your suspension system. Whether you're running stock setup or a custom race configuration, having spare hinge pins in your pit box is essential preparation for any RC car UK track day or competition.

Key Features

• Genuine Team Associated Spare — This is an official manufacturer part designed and specified by Team Associated, guaranteeing that these hinge pins meet the exact engineering standards required by the B6-series platform, which means perfect fitment and reliable performance every time you use them.
• Comprehensive Pin Selection — The set includes three different sizes of hinge pins (3x26mm, 3x34mm, and 3.5x48mm in specific quantities), allowing you to replace pins at multiple suspension pivot points and ensuring you have the correct specification for each location on your buggy.
• Restores Suspension Geometry — Bent or worn hinge pins compromise suspension arm alignment, which directly affects how your buggy handles, turns, and maintains traction; replacing them restores the precise geometry that manufacturers designed into your chassis for optimal handling.
• Easy Maintenance Task — Unlike complex suspension upgrades, replacing hinge pins is a straightforward job that most RC enthusiasts can complete in minutes with basic tools, making this an ideal parts box addition for any B6 owner.
• Essential for Competition Use — Competitive racers understand that suspension integrity is non-negotiable; having quality replacement hinge pins ensures your buggy remains race-ready and performs consistently throughout events and training sessions.
• Extends Component Lifespan — By replacing hinge pins promptly when wear is detected, you prevent secondary damage to suspension arms and other connected components, ultimately protecting your investment in your RC buggy.

Technical Performance

The Associated B6/B6.1 Hinge Pin Set delivers the precision engineering expected from Team Associated's range of genuine spare parts. The hinge pin package includes a carefully selected assortment of sizes: two 3x26mm pins, four 3x34mm pins, and two 3.5x48mm pins, with each size corresponding to specific suspension pivot points on the B6-series chassis. These small but critical components are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring smooth arm articulation without play or binding that could affect handling predictability. The 3mm diameter specification across all pins provides consistency with the B6 platform's engineering, whilst the varying lengths (26mm, 34mm, and 48mm) address the different suspension mounting locations found throughout the front and rear suspension assemblies. Quality hinge pins are essential because they support the full dynamic loads of suspension movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering; using worn or damaged pins can result in loose suspension geometry that manifests as unpredictable handling, reduced traction, and premature wear on other suspension components. The engineering of these pins ensures that your RC buggy's suspension maintains the precise alignment geometry that Team Associated designed into the B6 platform, whether you're running a stock setup for casual fun or a highly tuned race configuration for competitive track use across the UK.

If you own any 10B6-generation buggy or associated model variants, these pins will fit your vehicle.
• How do I know if my hinge pins need replacing? — Signs that your hinge pins need replacement include loose or sloppy suspension movement, visible bending in the pins when you inspect the suspension arms, handling changes that don't respond to geometry adjustments, or if you've had a significant crash that may have impacted the suspension. Replacing them is a straightforward maintenance task that takes just a few minutes.
• Why should I choose genuine Team Associated spares instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine spares are engineered to the exact specifications required by your RC buggy's platform, ensuring perfect fitment, reliable performance, and compatibility with all other suspension components. Using aftermarket or generic hinge pins risks suspension misalignment and potential damage to your chassis and arms.
• Is the Associated B6/B6.1 Hinge Pin Set suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Replacing hinge pins is one of the most beginner-friendly suspension maintenance tasks you can perform, requiring only basic tools like a pin punch and a small hammer or mallet. Even if you're new to RC car UK ownership, this is an excellent first maintenance project that helps you understand how your suspension works.
• What tools do I need to replace my hinge pins? — You'll need a pin punch or small drift punch (sized appropriately for the pin diameter), a small hammer or mallet, and a clean work surface. Some enthusiasts also use a workbench vice to hold suspension arms securely during pin removal and installation. No specialist tools are required.
• Can I order this as part of regular maintenance or do I need to wait until something breaks? — We recommend keeping a spare hinge pin set in your pit box for regular maintenance and as backup in case of damage. Regular replacement during maintenance intervals helps prevent the geometry drift that occurs as pins wear, and having spares on hand means you're never stranded with a suspension issue at the track.
