Key Features

• Lightweight construction — These carbon fibre arms deliver approximately 12% weight savings compared to hard plastic material options, which means your RC10B6.3 or RC10B6.3D will have improved acceleration, better handling response, and reduced unsprung weight that translates directly to faster lap times and more planted cornering.
• Extreme rigidity — The flat carbon fibre design provides exceptional stiffness and minimal flex under load, delivering more predictable handling in high-traction applications where precision steering input is critical, and significantly increasing vehicle stability when you're pushing hard through fast corners at full throttle.
• Improved durability — Compared to standard hard plastic suspension arms, these carbon fibre components offer significantly improved strength and longevity, meaning fewer breakages during intense racing sessions and a longer service life that justifies the investment in quality spares.
• Factory team specification — These are the same specification arms used by Team Associated's factory racing teams, which means they've been proven in genuine competition and represent the pinnacle of suspension arm engineering for the B6.3 platform.
• Proven compatibility — Designed specifically for the RC10B6.3 and RC10B6.3D buggy platforms, these arms integrate seamlessly into your existing setup without requiring additional modifications or adjustments.

Technical Performance

The B6.3 FT front suspension arms are manufactured from premium flat carbon fibre, a material chosen by professional RC racing teams for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and dimensional stability. Carbon fibre offers superior rigidity compared to hard plastic alternatives, which is especially important in the front suspension where precise steering geometry must be maintained even under extreme cornering forces. The flat carbon fibre construction minimises weight whilst maximising torsional rigidity, ensuring that your steering inputs translate directly to vehicle movement without any deflection or inconsistency. This is particularly important when racing on high-traction surfaces such as clay or carpet tracks, where even tiny variations in suspension geometry can affect your lap times. The engineering behind these components is backed by Team Associated's decades of racing experience, and every dimension has been optimised for performance. The approximately 12% weight reduction over hard plastic options might seem modest, but in RC racing, every gram matters—this weight saving in the front suspension improves throttle response, reduces rotational inertia, and helps your buggy achieve quicker direction changes through technical sections of the track. The improved durability of carbon fibre means these arms won't flex or crack under the abuse of serious racing, making them a cost-effective upgrade over the long term despite their premium initial cost.
