Key Features

• Decoupled Slipper Compatibility — This centre shaft is specifically engineered to work with the Factory Team Decoupled Slipper Clutch system, which decouples the front drivetrain from the rear drivetrain when you're off the power, allowing for significantly improved handling and reduced tyre scrubbing through corners.
• 45.5mm CVA Design — The constant velocity axle design measuring 45.5mm ensures smooth power delivery and consistent performance during both acceleration and deceleration phases of your race run.
• Factory Team Engineering — Built to Team Associated's Factory Team specifications, this component represents the pinnacle of RC buggy engineering and is designed for drivers who demand the absolute best performance from their equipment.
• Reduced Front Tyre Binding — By allowing the front driveline to spin freely when off power and on the brakes, this system greatly reduces front tyre binding and scrubbing on the track surface, giving you more control and predictability through technical sections.
• Enhanced Off-Power Steering — The decoupled slipper design enables more off-power steering input without compromising the on-power feel and acceleration advantage that four-wheel drive provides, giving you the best of both worlds.
• Premium Build Quality — As an official Team Associated component, this centre shaft is manufactured using high-quality materials and precision engineering to ensure durability and consistent performance lap after lap.
• Direct Replacement Part — This is a genuine spare part that fits seamlessly into the RC10B74.2 FT Decoupled Slipper Clutch Conversion Kit, making it easy to maintain or upgrade your system.

Technical Performance

The TEAM ASSOCIATED B74.2 FT Centre Shaft CVA 45.5mm represents a breakthrough in RC buggy performance technology. The decoupled slipper clutch system fundamentally changes how your RC buggy behaves during different phases of racing. When you're off the power or applying the brakes, the front drivetrain decouples from the rear, allowing the front wheels to roll freely without the resistance that normally comes from being mechanically connected to the engine through the driveline. This is particularly significant on tight, technical race tracks where corner speed and precision are crucial. The constant velocity axle design ensures that power is transmitted smoothly to the wheels, eliminating the binding and loss of efficiency that can occur with standard rigid connections. The 45.5mm specification is optimised for the RC10B74.2 platform, ensuring perfect fitment and performance integration. This centre shaft works in conjunction with the other components of the decoupled slipper system, including the hub, pads, spring, and bearing assemblies, all of which are available as spare parts from Team Associated. The engineering philosophy behind this system reflects decades of Team Associated's experience in competitive RC racing, and it has been extensively tested and refined to deliver real, measurable improvements in lap times and driving feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a decoupled slipper clutch and why would I want one on my RC buggy? — The decoupled slipper clutch system separates the front drivetrain from the rear when you're off the power or braking. This reduces front tyre scrubbing and binding through corners, giving you smoother, more predictable handling and allowing for greater off-power steering input without affecting your on-power acceleration and feel. This is a genuine competitive advantage for serious RC racers.
• Will this centre shaft work with my standard RC10B74.2? — This centre shaft is specifically designed for the RC10B74.2 and RC10B74.2D models when used with the Factory Team Decoupled Slipper Clutch Conversion Kit. It is not compatible with standard non-decoupled setups, so you will need to run the complete conversion kit to use this component.
• Is this a complete product or just a spare part? — This is a precision spare part — the centre shaft bone specifically. It is one component of the full decoupled slipper system. You will need the complete RC10B74.2 FT Decoupled Slipper Clutch Conversion Kit (AS92364) to implement the system. This centre shaft may be purchased as a replacement if you damage the original, or as an upgrade if you're building the system.
• How difficult is it to fit this centre shaft? — Installation requires disassembly of your RC buggy's drivetrain and is recommended for experienced RC enthusiasts who are familiar with RC car maintenance and setup. If you're new to RC or uncomfortable with this level of work, we recommend asking the team at RC Model Shop for fitting advice or considering professional assembly.
• What makes the 45.5mm specification important? — The 45.5mm constant velocity axle length is specifically engineered and tested for the RC10B74.2 platform to ensure perfect fitment, optimal weight distribution, and correct driveline angles. Using the correct specification is crucial for performance and longevity.
• Is this genuine Team Associated? — Yes, this is an official Team Associated Factory Team component, part number AS92371. RC Model Shop stocks genuine, authorised Team Associated products, so you can be confident you're getting authentic parts manufactured to the correct specifications.
