The Team Associated AS9640 steering bolts are precision-engineered components manufactured to the exacting standards Team Associated applies across all their RC buggy spares and upgrades. Steering bolts are critical fasteners that connect the steering linkage to the front axle assembly, bearing significant stress during cornering, acceleration and deceleration. These genuine parts maintain the correct steering geometry and eliminate looseness or play that can develop after extended use or impact from crashes during typical RC car UK driving sessions. The matched pair design ensures symmetrical left and right steering response, which is particularly important for competitive racing where consistent handling is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Team Associated AS9640 Steering Bolt used for? — The AS9640 is a genuine replacement steering bolt set for Team Associated B4 RC buggies. These bolts form critical connections in the front axle steering assembly, securing the steering linkage to the chassis. Over time, steering bolts can wear, bend or strip due to the constant stress of cornering and impacts, so having replacement bolts available is essential for maintaining reliable steering performance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this spare part is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. If you own a Team Associated B4 buggy and notice any steering play, looseness, or if your bolts become damaged, this is a straightforward replacement. However, installation may require basic mechanical knowledge or guidance from experienced RC hobbyists. If you're uncertain about fitting, RC Model Shop staff can offer advice and support.
- How do I know if my steering bolts need replacing? — Signs that your steering bolts may need replacement include visible looseness in the steering linkage, difficulty steering straight, or play when you manually move the front wheels side to side. Bent bolts can occur after crashes or heavy impacts, and worn bolts may no longer hold the steering components securely. Regularly inspecting your RC buggy as part of post-run maintenance helps identify these issues early.
- Will these bolts fit other Team Associated models? — The AS9640 is specifically listed as compatible with Team Associated B4 models. Other Team Associated RC buggies and vehicles may use different steering bolt specifications. Always verify part compatibility with your specific model before ordering, or contact RC Model Shop for guidance on finding the correct parts for your RC car UK setup.
- What makes genuine Team Associated parts better than alternatives? — Genuine Team Associated spares are manufactured to the original design specifications and materials, ensuring perfect fitment, correct thread specifications, and reliable performance. Genuine parts maintain the quality and durability your RC buggy was engineered for, whereas aftermarket or generic alternatives may introduce compatibility issues or premature failure. Choosing authentic spares protects your investment in your ready to run RC buggy.
