Overview
The Team Associated RIVAL MT10 Pivot Balls Long Neck (AS25828) are genuine OEM replacement spare parts designed for the RIVAL MT10 monster truck and compatible vehicles. If you own an RC car UK and need reliable replacement components to keep your rig in top condition, these pivot balls are an essential maintenance item. Whether you're a competitive racer or a weekend basher, having quality spare parts on hand ensures your RC monster truck continues to perform at its best. The long-neck style is specifically engineered to match the original factory components, giving you the confidence that you're installing the correct part.
Pivot balls are critical suspension components that allow your RC vehicle's suspension arms to move freely and articulate properly during off-road driving. Over time, standard use and aggressive bashing can wear these parts, affecting steering response and suspension geometry. By replacing worn pivot balls with genuine Associated spares, you maintain the handling characteristics and performance your RIVAL MT10 was designed to deliver. This is a straightforward replacement option for routine upkeep and maintenance, making it ideal for any RC enthusiast who wants to keep their vehicle running smoothly.
At RC Model Shop, we understand that finding the correct spare parts for your ready to run RC vehicle is essential. That's why we stock genuine Team Associated components, including these pivot balls, to help you maintain your investment. The part number AS25828 is clearly marked for easy identification when organising your spares box, and the long-neck design ensures perfect compatibility with your RIVAL MT10 platform.

Technical Performance
The RIVAL MT10 Pivot Balls Long Neck represent the precision engineering and quality control that Team Associated brings to RC vehicle components. As suspension pivot points, these balls enable the articulation and movement of your RC truck's suspension arms, absorbing impacts and allowing the chassis to maintain contact with uneven terrain during off-road driving. The long-neck configuration provides the specific geometry required by the RIVAL MT10 platform, whether you're running a brushless or brushed motor setup. These components are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure smooth operation and consistent handling across your drives. When suspension components wear over time, replacing them with genuine parts ensures your RC car maintains its original handling characteristics, responsiveness, and overall performance on the track or trail. Quality pivot balls reduce binding in the suspension, allowing for proper suspension articulation and improved traction. For UK-based RC enthusiasts looking to maintain their RIVAL MT10 or compatible brushless RC vehicles, these genuine spare parts are an investment in long-term reliability and performance consistency.
