Frequently Asked Questions

• What are shock bushings and why do I need to replace them? — Shock bushings are small components that sit between your RC car's shock tower and shock body, allowing smooth vertical movement whilst maintaining precise geometry. Over time, these bushings wear through constant compression and extension, developing play or binding that negrades suspension response and handling. Replacing them restores your RC car's suspension to factory specifications and improves overall performance characteristics.
• Are these bushings compatible with my Team Associated RC car? — These 12mm blue aluminium bushings with 9mm offset are compatible with a wide range of Team Associated models including the B6.1, B6.1D, B6.1DL, B6.2, B6.2D, B6.3, T6.1, T6.2, RC10SC6.1, RC10SC6.2, and Reflex 14B. Always check your specific model's documentation to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• How often should I replace my shock bushings? — The frequency depends on your usage patterns. Competitive racers who run regularly may replace bushings every few months, whilst casual RC enthusiasts might only need replacements annually or every couple of years. Monitor your suspension for excessive play or binding as an indicator that replacement is needed.
• Why should I buy genuine Team Associated bushings instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Team Associated parts are manufactured to exact specifications and tolerances that match your RC car's original engineering. Generic alternatives may have dimensional variations that cause poor fitment, suspension geometry inconsistencies, or accelerated wear. Using factory components ensures optimal performance and longevity.
• What makes the blue anodised aluminium finish special? — The anodising process creates a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer that protects the aluminium from oxidation and weathering whilst maintaining an attractive blue appearance. This finish resists fading and discolouration, keeping your suspension components looking professional through countless driving sessions.
• Can I use these bushings on multiple RC cars? — These bushings are specifically designed for Team Associated models, but many popular Team Associated RC buggies, trucks, and racing vehicles use this 12mm sizing. If you own multiple compatible Team Associated RC cars, you may need multiple packs to service all of them.
