Technical Performance
The caster block assembly is a critical component of your RC buggy's steering and suspension geometry. The bushings within this assembly allow the caster block to pivot smoothly whilst maintaining precise alignment. Over time, these polymer bushings compress and wear, compromising the accuracy of your vehicle's steering geometry and causing handling inconsistencies. The Associated Caster Block Bush AS91402 provides replacement bushings manufactured from durable materials engineered to withstand the stresses of competitive RC driving. By replacing worn bushings with these genuine Team Associated components, you restore the factory-specified geometry of your RC10B5 or RC10B5M, ensuring predictable handling, accurate steering response, and optimal suspension performance. The bushings work in conjunction with your vehicle's steering linkages and suspension arms to maintain proper caster angle, which directly affects stability, turning characteristics, and overall handling balance. Whether you're tuning your RC buggy for carpet, tarmac, or off-road surfaces, maintaining fresh bushings is fundamental to chassis performance and driver confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How often should I replace my caster block bushings on my RC10B5 or RC10B5M? — Caster block bushings are wear items that degrade through normal use. Most competitive racers replace them every few months, whilst casual RC car UK enthusiasts may find they last 6-12 months depending on usage intensity. If you notice your steering becoming less responsive or your vehicle pulling to one side more than before, it's time to replace your bushings.
- Are these bushings compatible with both the RC10B5 and RC10B5M? — Yes, the AS91402 is designed for both the RC10B5 and RC10B5M platforms. These models share the same caster block assembly specification, making this part universally compatible across both vehicles.
- What makes genuine Team Associated parts better than aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM parts are manufactured to the exact specifications and tolerances that Team Associated engineered for optimal performance. Aftermarket substitutes may fit loosely or have different material properties that affect handling. By choosing authentic Team Associated parts, you ensure your chassis performs exactly as designed.
- Can I install these bushings myself? — Yes, replacing caster block bushings is a straightforward maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can perform with basic tools. You'll need to disassemble your caster block, remove the old bushings, and install the new ones. If you're unsure about the process, our team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide guidance via phone on 01543 577278 or WhatsApp.
- How many sets of bushings will I need? — This pack contains four bushings, which is the complete set for your RC buggy. Most caster block assemblies use two bushings per side (one at each pivot point), so this single pack provides a complete refresh.
- What is the barcode for this product? — The barcode for the Associated Caster Block Bush B5/B5M is 784695914025, which you can use for inventory tracking or price verification.
