Technical Performance
The Team Associated Factory Team V2 Slipper Hubs represent the latest iteration in drivetrain technology for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, refined through years of competitive racing experience. These hubs are engineered with precision tolerances and robust construction to handle the demands of both casual weekend driving and serious competition use. The V2 designation indicates this is an improved version of the earlier design, incorporating lessons learned from countless hours of racing at the highest levels. Slipper hub design is critical in RC vehicles because it protects the drivetrain from damage under extreme acceleration or impact, essentially acting as a clutch that slips when force exceeds a certain threshold. This prevents catastrophic damage to gears, axles and other expensive drivetrain components. The Factory Team specification ensures that the slip threshold is precisely calibrated for optimal performance across the B4, B44, T4 and SC10 platforms. Materials and construction quality are held to the exacting standards you'd expect from Team Associated's race-proven engineering, with careful attention to bearing surfaces, gear engagement and overall durability. Whether you're maintaining your current setup or upgrading to enhance drivetrain protection, these V2 hubs deliver the engineering excellence that has made Team Associated a leader in competitive RC racing worldwide.

If you're new to RC and unsure about installation, we recommend contacting our team for advice on whether you need to replace your existing hubs or if maintenance on your current setup would suffice.
- What is a slipper hub and why does my RC car need one? — A slipper hub is a drivetrain component that acts like a clutch, allowing controlled slipping of the wheels when acceleration force exceeds a safe threshold. This protects expensive gears, axles and motor components from damage during hard acceleration or impacts. The Team Associated Factory Team V2 hubs deliver precisely calibrated slip thresholds to keep your drivetrain safe while maintaining optimal power delivery.
- Can I use these hubs to upgrade my existing Associated RC buggy or truck? — Yes, these are optional spares designed for maintenance and upgrades on compatible models.

- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
