Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these chassis braces fit my Team Associated B6 buggy? — Yes, these braces are designed for the Team Associated RC10B6 and RC10B6D platforms. They are also compatible with the RC10B6.1 and numerous other B-series variants. However, we recommend checking your specific kit manual to confirm the correct part number for your exact model, as different versions may have subtle variations.
- Why do I need replacement chassis braces if my RC car seems to be working fine? — Even if your buggy appears to be running well, chassis braces can develop micro-cracks, warping, or fatigue over time, especially if you bash hard or race competitively. By replacing them proactively, you prevent the structural flex that leads to poor handling, inconsistent performance, and potential damage to other chassis components. It's preventative maintenance at its finest.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts or aftermarket copies? — These are 100% genuine Team Associated components, part number AS91709. We are an authorised Team Associated retailer, and all our spares are authentic OEM parts. This ensures perfect fitment and the quality standards you expect from a factory manufacturer.
- How difficult is it to install these braces? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. Simply unbolt the old braces from your chassis and bolt the new ones in their place. No special tools are required beyond a basic hex wrench set. Most users can complete the installation in just a few minutes.
- What is the difference between B6 and B6.1 braces? — The B6/B6.1 chassis braces AS91709 are designed to fit both the original B6 and the updated B6.1 platforms. The B6.1 introduced some design refinements and improvements over the original B6, but these braces maintain compatibility with both generations, making them a versatile spare part.
- How often should I replace my chassis braces? — This depends on how heavily you use your RC buggy. Casual weekend bashers might replace them once every few years, while competitive racers might replace them every season or more frequently. Inspect your braces regularly for visible damage, cracks, or warping, and replace them immediately if you notice any deterioration.
