Overview
The Team Associated B64 Gearbox Shim Set (AS92010) is an essential genuine factory spare component designed specifically for owners and racers of the Team Associated B64 buggy platform. Whether you're maintaining your RC car UK setup, rebuilding a gearbox after competitive racing, or simply refreshing your transmission during routine servicing, this OEM shim set from Team Associated delivers the precision engineering and quality consistency you expect from one of the industry's most respected manufacturers. For anyone serious about keeping their RC buggy in peak condition, this spare part is a must-have addition to your pit box.
Gearbox shims play a critical role in transmission performance and longevity. Over time, even the finest RC buggies experience wear and tolerance changes that can affect gear mesh alignment and drivetrain efficiency. The AS92010 shim set allows you to achieve precise spacing within the gearbox, maintaining smooth gear engagement and reducing unwanted side play that can lead to premature wear and inconsistent handling. This is particularly important for competitive racers and serious enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance from their 1/10-scale buggies.
As a genuine Team Associated spare, the B64 Gearbox Shim Set represents excellent value for money and peace of mind. Rather than struggling with improvised solutions or tolerating worn gears, you can quickly and straightforwardly refresh your transmission with factory-spec components that have been engineered and tested by the manufacturer themselves. This handy addition to any pit box is ideal for fine-tuning gearbox feel, addressing tolerance changes, or simply maintaining your B64 in showroom condition.

Technical Performance
The Team Associated B64 Gearbox Shim Set represents precision engineering at the component level. Gearbox shims are thin, precisely manufactured spacers that control the axial spacing of gears within the transmission housing. In a finely tuned RC buggy like the B64, even small deviations in gear spacing can compromise performance, introducing unnecessary friction, noise, and wear. The AS92010 shim set has been engineered by Team Associated to match the exact specifications and tolerances required by the B64 platform, ensuring that when you install these shims, your transmission returns to factory-spec alignment and operation. The materials used in these shims are selected to provide durability and consistency across multiple build and rebuild cycles, making this an investment in your buggy's long-term reliability. Whether you are refreshing your transmission after competitive racing, addressing tolerance stack-up that has developed over time, or simply maintaining your buggy to the highest standards, this genuine OEM spare delivers the quality and precision you need. The shim set is particularly valuable for those who understand that transmission performance is fundamental to overall buggy performance — smooth, efficient gear engagement translates directly into responsive handling, consistent acceleration, and reduced mechanical losses that can affect lap times and reliability on the track.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a gearbox shim set and why do I need one for my B64 buggy? — Shims are precision-engineered spacers that control the exact spacing of gears within your transmission. Over time, wear, thermal cycling, and tolerance stack-up can cause gears to move out of their optimal alignment, leading to increased friction, noise, and wear. The AS92010 shim set allows you to refresh your transmission spacing and restore smooth, efficient gear engagement, maintaining peak performance and extending component life. This is especially important for racers and serious enthusiasts who demand reliability from their RC buggy UK setup.
- Is the Team Associated B64 Gearbox Shim Set suitable for beginners? — This is a specialist component intended for those performing gearbox maintenance, servicing, or rebuilds on their B64. If you are new to RC buggies or transmission work, we recommend consulting your B64 manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop for guidance on installation and use. Our friendly staff are happy to provide advice and support to help you maintain your buggy correctly.
- How often should I refresh my B64 gearbox shims? — There is no fixed schedule; it depends on how heavily you use your buggy, whether you race competitively, and how you maintain your transmission. Many serious racers and enthusiasts refresh shims as part of regular servicing or when they notice changes in gearbox feel, noise, or smoothness. Keeping a shim set in your pit box means you are prepared to make adjustments whenever needed.
- Is this an original Team Associated spare or an aftermarket product? — This is a genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) spare part from Team Associated, not an aftermarket alternative. This means it has been engineered and tested by the manufacturer to match the exact specifications of your B64 gearbox, ensuring compatibility, quality, and reliability.
- Can I use this shim set on other Associated models? — The AS92010 is specifically designed for the B64 buggy platform. Do not assume it will fit other Associated models without checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team; using incorrect shims can compromise transmission performance and reliability.
- What tools will I need to install the shims? — Installation will require standard RC tools and the ability to safely disassemble and reassemble your B64 gearbox. Consult your B64 manual for detailed instructions and tool requirements. If you are uncertain about transmission work, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is here to help.
