Technical Performance
The Associated B6/B6.1 Aluminium Arm Mount D represents precision engineering at its finest, embodying decades of Associated's expertise in 4WD buggy suspension design. Constructed from high-grade aluminium alloy, this component delivers the ideal combination of light weight and exceptional rigidity needed for competitive 1/10 scale RC buggy racing. The aluminium material choice is critical because it resists bending and flexing under the intense loads imposed by high-speed cornering, acceleration, and braking, whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel alternatives. This contributes directly to improved handling response, faster lap times, and more predictable suspension behaviour across varying track surfaces. The D-position mounting point is a key element of the B6 series' adjustable suspension geometry system, allowing competitors to fine-tune their buggy's suspension characteristics for different track conditions, whether you're racing on loose dirt, carpet, concrete, or mixed surfaces. The precision manufacturing tolerances ensure that this replacement mount maintains the exact suspension angles and geometry that Associated engineers calculated for optimal performance. For serious RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and performance from their buggies, using genuine Associated components like this arm mount is the foundation of a competitive setup that will deliver consistent results lap after lap.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an arm mount and why do I need it for my Associated B6 RC buggy? — An arm mount is the bracket that connects your suspension arm to the chassis, and it directly determines your buggy's suspension geometry and handling characteristics. If your arm mount becomes bent, cracked, or worn from impacts and aggressive driving, replacing it with this genuine Associated part restores your buggy to factory specifications and ensures predictable handling performance.
- Will this part fit my Associated B6.1 RC buggy? — Yes, this AS91688 arm mount is specifically designed for and compatible with the Associated B6, B6D, B6.1, and B6.1D models, making it the correct replacement for these platforms.
- Is this a genuine Associated part or a clone copy? — This is a genuine factory part manufactured by Associated themselves, not a third-party clone or aftermarket copy. You receive the exact component that Association specified for this suspension position.
- What does D-position mean in suspension arm mounts? — The D-position refers to a specific mounting location on your buggy's chassis. Associated designs multiple arm mount positions (typically A, B, C, and D) to allow racers to adjust suspension geometry and anti-roll bar angles. The D-position is one option in this tuning range.
- Can I use this part as an upgrade or only as a replacement? — This part functions both as a direct replacement for damaged or worn components and as a tuning upgrade option if you want to experiment with different suspension geometry setups. Many racers collect multiple arm mounts to dial in their buggy's handling for different track conditions.
- What should I do if I damage my suspension arm mount during racing? — If your arm mount becomes bent or cracked, it affects your suspension geometry and handling unpredictably, which is why immediate replacement with a genuine Associated part like this AS91688 is recommended to restore your buggy to peak performance.
