Team Associated Factory Team B74.1 Rear Hubs Blue Aluminium AS92270

Overview

Upgrade your Team Associated race kits with the Factory Team FT B74.1 Rear Hubs in stunning anodised blue aluminium. These premium replacement hubs are engineered to deliver precision, durability, and consistency lap after lap, making them an essential upgrade for serious RC racers and competitive enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're running a 4WD buggy or 2WD truck setup, these hubs represent a significant step up in component quality that will transform the feel and reliability of your RC car's rear end.

Designed by Team Associated's engineers at Area 51, these Factory Team hubs are part of the next-generation RC10B74.1 platform that has been developed specifically for high-grip carpet and turf racing environments. The FT B74.1 Rear Hubs are available in both anodised blue and black aluminium finishes, allowing you to customise your RC buggy or truck to match your preferred colour scheme whilst maintaining absolute precision in the suspension geometry. The blue anodised finish not only looks fantastic but also provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability compared to standard plastic hubs.

These hubs weigh just 8.5g each (excluding hardware), making them a lightweight option that helps keep your RC car's centre of gravity as low as possible for improved handling characteristics. The precision machining combined with anodised aluminium construction ensures these hubs will maintain their performance over countless races and practice sessions, whether you're competing in carpet carpet nationals or turf track championships across the UK.

Key Features

• Anodised blue aluminium construction — The hubs are manufactured from high-quality aluminium and treated with anodising to create a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that maintains its appearance and performance characteristics even after extended use in demanding racing conditions, ensuring your RC buggy remains in top condition.
• Laser-etched Factory Team logo — Each hub features a precision laser-etched FT logo that adds a professional racing aesthetic to your RC car whilst serving as a mark of authenticity and quality engineering from Team Associated's premium Factory Team range.
• Two set screws for play-free assembly — Included with the hubs are two precision set screws that secure both the hub and hub insert directly to the hinge pin, eliminating any play or movement that could compromise handling consistency and enabling you to maintain identical setup conditions from run to run during competitive racing.
• Ultra-lightweight design at 8.5g each — The precision-machined construction keeps weight to a minimum at just 8.5g per hub (excluding hardware), which helps lower your RC car's overall centre of gravity and improves the predictability of handling on both carpet and turf track surfaces.
• Direct replacement compatibility — These FT hubs serve as direct replacements for the standard AS92267 RC10B74.1 Rear Hubs, making installation straightforward and ensuring perfect fitment without requiring additional modifications or adjustments to your suspension setup.
• Precision engineering for consistent performance — The tight tolerances and high-quality manufacturing ensure that these hubs deliver run-after-run consistency, which is critical for competitive racing where even minute variations in suspension geometry can affect lap times and handling feel.

Technical Performance

These Factory Team B74.1 Rear Hubs represent the pinnacle of precision component engineering for 1/10 scale RC buggies and trucks. Manufactured from premium 7075-T6 aluminium and anodised for enhanced durability, these hubs are part of Team Associated's comprehensive upgrade programme for the RC10B74.1 platform, which has been engineered from the ground up for high-grip carpet and turf racing environments. The hubs feature updated rear hub link mounts constructed from aluminium that work in conjunction with the new low-profile shock tower design (lowered by 5.5mm compared to previous generations) to optimise the centre of gravity and improve handling predictability. The inclusion of two set screws provides a precision mechanical lock that maintains play-free running, which is essential for maintaining consistent suspension geometry throughout an entire race event. Each hub weighs just 8.5g excluding hardware, contributing to the overall lightweight design philosophy of the B74.1.1 platform. The anodised blue finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to raw aluminium and significantly improves durability compared to plastic components. These hubs are compatible with the 66mm rear CVA driveshafts and axles that feature 6.0mm rear hex adapters, allowing for 1mm increment adjustments in axle height for fine-tuning suspension geometry. The precision-machined construction ensures that these hubs will maintain their dimensional accuracy and performance characteristics even after extensive use in competitive racing scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these FT B74.1 rear hubs improve my RC buggy's handling? — Yes, these precision-engineered aluminium hubs eliminate play and maintain consistent suspension geometry run after run. The lightweight design at 8.5g each helps lower your RC car's centre of gravity, which directly improves handling predictability on carpet and turf tracks. The anodised aluminium construction is significantly more durable than plastic alternatives, ensuring they maintain their precision over extended racing periods, which means your handling setup remains consistent throughout an entire event.
• What is the difference between the blue AS92270 and black AS92271 hubs? — The blue AS92270 and black AS92271 hubs are identical in terms of engineering, performance, and precision manufacturing. The only difference is the anodised colour finish, allowing you to choose the aesthetic that best matches your RC buggy or truck's colour scheme whilst maintaining the same precision and durability characteristics.
• Are these hubs suitable for both carpet and dirt racing? — These hubs are part of the RC10B74.1 platform which has been optimised for high-grip carpet and turf racing environments. However, they are also compatible with the RC10B74.1D dirt configuration, so they will work effectively on both carpet and dirt track surfaces, though the B74.1D includes a centre differential setup optimised specifically for dirt conditions.
• How much weight will these hubs save compared to plastic hubs? — Each hub weighs just 8.5g (excluding hardware), which represents a lightweight option that contributes to lowering your RC car's overall centre of gravity. Whilst the weight saving compared to standard plastic hubs may be modest, the precision engineering and durability of aluminium construction provides significant performance and longevity benefits that justify the upgrade investment.
• Do these hubs require any special tools or expertise to install? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. The set screws are included and simply need to be tightened to secure the hub and hub insert to the hinge pin. Standard RC hobby tools such as hex drivers and small screwdrivers are all that is required. If you are unfamiliar with suspension maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance and support.
• Are these hubs supplied with bearings? — These hubs do not include bearings as they are designed to work with standard RC buggy bearing sets. You will need to source appropriate bearings separately if you do not already have them in your spares collection.
• What is the difference between these FT hubs and standard plastic hubs? — Factory Team aluminium hubs offer several critical advantages over standard plastic components. The anodised aluminium construction provides superior durability and corrosion resistance, the precision machining ensures tighter tolerances and better dimensional stability, and the lightweight design contributes to improved centre of gravity. Most importantly, the inclusion of set screws allows you to eliminate all play in the suspension, which is essential for maintaining consistent handling characteristics during competitive racing where precision is paramount.
