Overview
Upgrade your Team Associated RC10B74.1 platform with these premium Factory Team carbon fibre composite rear hubs, engineered for serious RC enthusiasts who demand high performance. Whether you're a competitive racer running the B74.1 on the track or a dedicated basher looking to squeeze every bit of performance from your RC buggy, these carbon rear hubs represent a significant step up from standard parts. The injection-moulded construction impregnated with rigid carbon fibres delivers the perfect balance of lightweight construction and structural rigidity — exactly what you need when you're pushing your RC car UK to its limits.
Team Associated is renowned across the UK RC community for their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to genuine performance upgrades. These Factory Team carbon rear hubs are no exception. Rather than simply offering cosmetic improvements, these hubs address a fundamental requirement of high-performance RC racing: reducing unsprung weight whilst maintaining absolute structural integrity. When you're cornering hard, accelerating from standstill, or hitting the brakes at full throttle, the quality of your hubs directly impacts how your RC buggy responds to your inputs. These carbon composite rear hubs ensure that your vehicle reacts with precision and consistency, lap after lap.
If you're serious about getting the best from your B74.1 platform, whether for competition, weekend track days, or spirited bashing sessions, these Factory Team option parts represent genuine engineering excellence. The carbon fibre composite construction isn't just about looking the part — it's about delivering measurable improvements in handling, durability, and overall vehicle dynamics that experienced RC drivers will immediately notice.
Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Composite Construction — These rear hubs are manufactured using injection-moulded materials that are impregnated with rigid carbon fibres throughout the entire component, creating a material matrix that delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard plastic or aluminium alternatives.
- Lightweight Performance Design — By reducing the weight of the rear hubs, you lower the overall unsprung weight of your RC car, which directly improves suspension responsiveness, traction, and the vehicle's ability to maintain consistent grip through corners and over obstacles.
- Rigid and Durable Structure — The carbon fibre reinforcement ensures these hubs maintain their shape and structural integrity under the extreme stresses of high-speed cornering, hard braking, and aggressive acceleration that characterises modern RC racing.
- Factory Team Option Part — As an official Team Associated Factory Team component, these hubs are engineered to OEM specifications and quality standards, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability with your existing B74.1 platform without modification.
- Ultimate High-Performance Upgrade — Team Associated explicitly positions these as the ultimate option for high performance, meaning they're designed specifically for drivers who prioritise competitive advantage and refined handling over budget considerations.
- Compatible with Multiple Platforms — Whilst designed for the B74.1, these hubs also fit the RC10B74.1D, RC10SC6.2, and RC10T6.2 platforms, offering upgrade flexibility across Team Associated's popular buggy and truck lineup.
Technical Performance
These Factory Team carbon rear hubs represent the pinnacle of modern RC component engineering. The injection-moulded process combined with carbon fibre impregnation creates a material structure that achieves what standard manufacturing cannot: genuine rigidity with significantly reduced mass. In practical terms, this means your RC buggy will exhibit improved suspension articulation because the hubs won't flex or absorb energy that should be transmitted through the suspension geometry. The carbon fibre reinforcement runs throughout the material matrix, not just on the surface, providing uniform strength characteristics in all directions. This is particularly important in rear hubs, which experience cyclic loading from drivetrain forces, lateral cornering loads, and vertical impacts from track surfaces. The engineering approach taken by Team Associated focuses on reducing the revolving weight at the rear axles of your RC car UK setup — this has a cascading positive effect on acceleration, deceleration, and overall responsiveness. Drivers will notice improved turn-in characteristics, better mid-corner stability, and more predictable braking behaviour. The material science behind these hubs means they're not only lighter but also more durable than comparable standard components, reducing maintenance downtime and the need for frequent replacement during intensive competition seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these carbon rear hubs improve my B74.1's handling? — Yes, significantly. By reducing unsprung weight at the rear axles and providing superior rigidity compared to standard hubs, these Factory Team carbon components will deliver noticeably improved suspension response, sharper turn-in, and better overall handling characteristics that you'll feel immediately when driving.
- Are these hubs suitable for beginners? — Whilst these are genuine performance upgrades, they're most beneficial for experienced drivers and competitors who can appreciate the improvements in handling and responsiveness. Beginners developing their RC buggy skills would benefit more from learning the fundamentals with standard components, though these hubs will certainly help as your skills develop.
- What vehicles do these rear hubs fit? — These Factory Team carbon rear hubs are designed for the RC10B74.1 and RC10B74.1D buggies, and they're also compatible with the RC10SC6.2 short course truck and RC10T6.2 truck platforms, making them versatile upgrades across Team Associated's popular competition platforms.
- Are these hubs difficult to install? — Installation is straightforward if you're familiar with basic RC car maintenance and disassembly. These are direct replacement parts for the standard rear hubs on compatible platforms, requiring only standard RC tools and basic mechanical knowledge.
- How do carbon composite hubs compare to aluminium? — Carbon composite construction offers superior damping characteristics and weight savings compared to solid aluminium, whilst maintaining equal or superior rigidity. The engineered material matrix of carbon-impregnated injection-moulded plastic delivers more consistent performance across temperature ranges and provides better energy absorption without flex.
- Will upgrading to these hubs alone improve my lap times? — These hubs are part of a holistic approach to vehicle setup and performance. Combined with proper suspension tuning, appropriate tyre choice, and driving technique, these Factory Team carbon rear hubs will contribute measurably to improved lap times by enhancing the vehicle's responsiveness and consistency.
