For RC hobbyists in the UK looking for quality spare parts and upgrades, the AS91803 represents excellent value for money at just £10.92. It's the kind of straightforward, essential maintenance component that every B6.1 owner should have on hand, whether you're undertaking routine servicing, rebuilding after a crash, or simply keeping replacement parts in your pit box for race day. Ordering from RC Model Shop ensures you receive genuine Team Associated stock with full compatibility guarantee.
Key Features
- Direct Replacement Component — This slipper hub inner is engineered as a direct replacement for the Team Associated B6.1 chassis, meaning it requires no modification, adaptation, or workarounds to fit perfectly into your existing drivetrain assembly. This precision fit ensures the part functions exactly as the manufacturer intended.
- Restores Drivetrain Fit — Over time, repeated driving cycles cause the inner slipper hub to wear, leading to loose tolerances within the slipper hub stack. This replacement restores the correct fit and spacing, eliminating play in the drivetrain and improving power delivery consistency during acceleration and cornering.
- Smooth Operation — By replacing a worn or damaged inner hub, you restore the smooth, controlled slipping action of the slipper clutch system, which protects your transmission from shock loads and sudden power application that could damage gears or cause catastrophic drivetrain failure.
- Straightforward Installation — This is a simple swap-in component requiring only basic mechanical knowledge and standard RC tools. Disassemble your existing slipper hub stack, remove the worn inner, insert the new AS91803, and reassemble. No special skills or expertise required, making it perfect for maintenance at home or at the track.
- Genuine Team Associated OEM Part — As an official Team Associated component, this part is manufactured to exact specifications using the correct materials and tolerances, ensuring compatibility with all B6.1 model variants and maintaining your chassis's performance characteristics.
- Routine Maintenance Essential — Whether you're performing scheduled maintenance, repairing after a crash, or restocking your spares box, this component is fundamental to keeping your RC buggy UK-legal and ready for action.
- Affordable Spare Part — At competitive pricing, this drivetrain component represents excellent value for money, especially when compared to the cost of repairing or replacing an entire transmission assembly due to neglected maintenance.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated B6.1 Slipper Hub Inner is manufactured to the exacting standards you'd expect from one of the world's leading RC car manufacturers. Team Associated has over 40 years of experience in competitive RC engineering, and this precision-machined component reflects that heritage. The slipper hub inner is a critical part of the B6.1's transmission system, working in conjunction with the outer hub and clutch springs to provide controlled power delivery and protect the drivetrain from damage caused by sudden acceleration or shock loads. The B6.1 platform itself is renowned in the RC buggy community as one of the finest 1/10 scale off-road buggies ever produced, and maintaining original specification components like this inner hub ensures your chassis continues to perform at its best. The engineering tolerances are precise, the material quality is consistent, and the fit within the slipper hub assembly is perfect, allowing the clutch mechanism to function smoothly without excessive play or premature wear. Whether you're running the standard B6.1 or one of its many variants, this component will provide years of reliable service when properly maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the AS91803 slipper hub inner compatible with all B6.1 variants? — The AS91803 is listed as a standard part compatible with Team Associated B6.1 vehicles. However, we recommend checking your specific model's parts manual to confirm compatibility before ordering. If you're unsure which variant you own or whether this part fits, contact our team at RC Model Shop on 01543 577278 and we'll help you identify the correct component for your chassis.
- How do I know when my slipper hub inner needs replacing? — Signs of wear include: loose tolerance within the slipper hub assembly, inconsistent clutch engagement, difficulty maintaining straight acceleration, or visible wear marks on the inner component itself. If your slipper has become worn after several seasons of use, this replacement will restore proper function and improve your RC car's performance significantly.
- Do I need any special tools to install this part? — No special tools are required. You'll need basic RC tools like a hex wrench set, screwdrivers, and possibly a small punch tool to help disassemble your slipper hub. Most RC hobbyists will already have these items in their maintenance kit. The installation process takes just a few minutes for anyone with basic mechanical experience.
- What is a slipper hub and why does it matter? — The slipper hub (or slipper clutch) is a transmission component designed to protect your RC car's drivetrain from damage. When you apply sudden full throttle acceleration, the clutch slips momentarily, gradually engaging power delivery instead of causing an instantaneous shock load that could strip gears or break other drivetrain components. The inner hub is the central component that works with the outer hub and springs to create this controlled slipping action, making it absolutely essential for durability and longevity.
- Should I replace the slipper hub inner and outer together, or just the inner? — If only the inner is worn, you can replace just that component. However, if both components show significant wear, it's often worth replacing both at the same time to ensure optimal fitment and consistent performance. Contact RC Model Shop if you need advice on whether to also order the outer hub component.
- Is this part suitable for beginners? — While this is a genuine spare component rather than a complete RC car, replacing the slipper hub inner is well within the capabilities of beginner-level RC mechanics. If you've already got a B6.1 running and want to maintain it properly, this is a perfect introduction to basic drivetrain maintenance. Our friendly team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance if you've never done this maintenance before.
