Overview
The Team Associated B6.2 FT Rear Ballstud Mount +2mm in blue (AS91888) is a genuine Factory Team option part designed for serious RC enthusiasts and competitors who demand precision engineering and authentic manufacturer components. This is a critical suspension tuning part for the RC10 B6 family of 1/10 scale 2WD off-road buggies, which have dominated competitive RC racing since Team Associated's legendary RC10 first revolutionised the sport in 1984. Whether you're setting up a new RC car or fine-tuning an existing build, this rear ballstud mount provides an alternative mounting height that allows you to dial in the perfect suspension geometry for your specific track conditions and driving style.
The +2mm specification represents a subtle but significant change to the vertical ball stud camber link mount position on the rear hub assembly. This kind of precision tuning is what separates winning setups from average ones on the track, and Team Associated's Factory Team parts are engineered to the same exacting standards used by World Championship competitors. The blue anodised finish is not just aesthetically pleasing—it matches perfectly with other Factory Team components in the RC10 B6/T6/SC6 family, allowing you to build a cohesive, professionally tuned racing machine. If you're looking for genuine, authorised RC car parts from the most successful 2WD buggy manufacturer in the history of the sport, this is exactly what you need.
Available now from RC Model Shop, an authorised Team Associated dealer, this part is stocked and ready to ship. The RC10 B6.2 itself has been engineered as the preferred platform for high-grip carpet and turf track surfaces, and this rear ballstud mount is a key component in achieving the optimal mass balance and handling characteristics that make the B6.2 the choice of champions worldwide.
Key Features
- Factory Team Engineered — This is an official Team Associated Factory Team component, meaning it has been designed and manufactured to the same rigorous specifications used by the world's top professional RC racers and Team Associated's factory drivers, ensuring you get the absolute best in quality and precision.
- +2mm Mounting Height Adjustment — The +2mm specification provides an alternative vertical mounting position for the rear ball stud camber link, allowing you to fine-tune suspension geometry and adjust the roll centre to suit different track conditions and driving preferences without replacing the entire rear hub assembly.
- Premium Blue Anodised Aluminium — The blue finish is both durable and visually striking, complementing other Factory Team blue components while the hard anodising process ensures excellent wear resistance and protection against corrosion during intense racing use.
- Modular Design Philosophy — Team Associated's new rear hub assembly features a modular vertical ball stud camber link mount design, and this part is an essential option for drivers who want to explore different setup configurations and optimise their vehicle's handling across multiple track types.
- Compatibility Across the B6/T6/SC6 Range — This part fits not just the B6.2, but the entire RC10 B6 family including B6.1, B6.1D, B6.1DL, B6.2D, B6.3, B6.3D models, plus the SC6.1, SC6.2 short course versions and the T6 touring car variants, making it a versatile investment in your RC hobby.
- Easy Installation — As an option part for the existing modular rear hub system, installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic RC maintenance and requires no special tools beyond standard hex drivers and basic hand tools.
- Competitive Racing Pedigree — Team Associated has won 13 of the 18 I.F.M.A.R. World Championships in 1/10 2WD off-road racing since the class began, and has won more 2WD championships than all other manufacturers combined—this part is part of that winning legacy.
Technical Performance
The RC10 B6.2 platform, of which this rear ballstud mount is a critical component, represents the pinnacle of 1/10 scale 2WD off-road buggy engineering. The B6.2 is specifically engineered for high-grip carpet and turf track surfaces, featuring a 3-gear Laydown Stealth transmission with a 2.6:1 internal gear ratio for optimal mass balance and forward centre of gravity. The rear suspension uses new symmetric 75mm rear arms with improved geometry and stiffness that can be flipped to allow multiple rear shock mounting positions, and this ballstud mount provides yet another layer of suspension geometry adjustment. The new rear hub assembly incorporates a modular vertical ball stud camber link mount with axle height adjustment capability, featuring 0, 1, 2, and 3mm inserts included with the main kit—this rear ballstud mount with its +2mm specification represents an additional tuning option between the standard positions. The chassis is constructed from lightweight 7075-T6 hard anodised aluminium, increased in length compared to previous generations, with 7075-T6 aluminium arm mounts featuring optimised roll centre positions and inserts for tuning anti-squat and toe adjustments. Heavy-duty V2 routed graphite front and rear shock towers provide exceptional rigidity, paired with standard V2 12mm Big Bore threaded aluminium shocks fitted with X-rings and available in FT versions with genuine Kashima coating. The front wing mount is new and designed to work with the included front wing, whilst the new body design features a lower centre of mass with both a clear body and wing included in the complete kit. Differential height adjustment is available through 0, 1, 2, and 3mm inserts, and the vehicle uses a fluid-filled gear differential. 24g and 36g steel chassis weights are included to refine the balance and lower overall centre of mass, with the complete vehicle tipping the scales at just 821g (1.81lbs) before you add the motor, battery, receiver and other electronics. The outer rear hinge pins are captured with bolt heads and locknuts for increased durability, and new CVA 69mm bones reduce plunge and minimise friction at the drive pin. This is truly competition-grade engineering designed for drivers who take their RC racing seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the +2mm specification mean on this rear ballstud mount? — The +2mm indicates that this mount positions the ball stud camber link 2mm higher than the standard mounting position. This changes the geometry of the rear suspension, affecting roll centre and camber characteristics. Team Associated includes 0, 1, 2, and 3mm inserts in the main B6.2 kit, and this +2mm part provides an additional tuning option for drivers who want to experiment with different setup configurations to find the sweet spot for their specific track and driving style.
- Will this part fit my RC10 B6.1? — Yes, this rear ballstud mount is compatible with the RC10B6.1 and RC10B6.1D as well as the B6.1DL variant. The B6 family shares many suspension components and tuning parts remain interchangeable between B6.1 and B6.2 configurations, so this is a versatile upgrade for any B6 series buggy.
- Is this part suitable for beginners? — This is an intermediate-to-advanced tuning component best suited to drivers who are already familiar with RC suspension setup and geometry. Beginners building their first RC10 B6 should start with the standard mounting positions included in the kit before experimenting with option parts like this mount.
- Can I use this on my RC10 T6 touring car? — Yes, this part is compatible with both RC10T6.1 and RC10T6.2 touring car models, as the T6 family shares many suspension design elements with the B6 buggy platform, including the modular rear hub assembly design.
- What is the difference between this and the standard rear ballstud mount included in the kit? — The B6.2 kit includes standard ballstud mounts, but this is the +2mm version which positions the ball stud 2mm higher. The kit also comes with 0, 1, 2, and 3mm height inserts for the hub itself, so you have multiple ways to adjust geometry. This specific part represents another tuning avenue for competitive drivers chasing the last tenth of a second on the track.
- Is this a Factory Team part? — Yes, this is an official Team Associated Factory Team component, engineered to the same standards as parts used by World Championship competitors and team drivers. Factory Team parts are the premium option within the Team Associated range and represent the cutting edge of 1/10 2WD buggy performance and durability.
- Why would I need to change the ballstud mount height? — Changing suspension geometry like the roll centre position affects how your buggy handles under load. Different track surfaces and conditions may require different suspension characteristics. A higher or lower ball stud position can adjust camber gain, roll centre height, and overall suspension response, allowing you to dial in the perfect setup for your driving style and track conditions.
