Key Features

• Carbon Construction — These caster and steering blocks are manufactured from carbon material, which provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminium or plastic alternatives, resulting in improved suspension responsiveness and reduced unsprung mass that translates to better traction and faster lap times on the track or off-road.
• Factory Team Specification — As genuine Team Associated Factory Team components, these blocks are engineered to the exact standards used in competitive racing programmes, ensuring you're running the same quality and precision that professional drivers rely on for championship-level performance.
• Precision Front-End Engineering — The caster and steering block assembly directly controls wheel geometry and alignment at the front hub, making these components critical for achieving predictable handling, improved cornering grip, and responsive steering feedback that you'll feel immediately in your driving experience.
• Complete Assembly Solution — Supplied as a comprehensive caster/steering block set, these parts work together as a matched pair to ensure consistent geometry across both front corners of your RC buggy, maintaining balanced handling characteristics in all driving conditions.
• Genuine Associated Parts — Part number AS92577 is the authentic OEM component from Team Associated, guaranteeing compatibility with RC10B7.1 and RC10B7.1D models and ensuring you receive exactly the specifications that the vehicle was engineered to use.

Technical Performance

The caster and steering blocks form the fundamental suspension geometry control point on your RC buggy, directly influencing how your front suspension responds to track conditions and driving inputs. By utilising carbon construction, Team Associated has achieved a design that combines the rigidity needed for precise wheel positioning with minimal weight penalty — a critical balance in 1/10 scale racing where every gram affects performance. The blocks control caster angle, steering geometry, and the mounting interface for suspension arms and wheel hubs, making them central to your buggy's overall handling package. Carbon material offers superior dimensional stability compared to lower-cost alternatives, meaning your geometry settings remain consistent throughout a race or long basher session, without the flex or deflection that can develop in less rigid materials. These Factory Team blocks are manufactured to tight tolerances that ensure repeatable assembly and predictable handling characteristics, which is why they're specified for competitive racing applications. Whether you're running on carpet, asphalt, or off-road surfaces, the precision engineering of these blocks translates to improved steering response, more confident cornering, and better overall vehicle control. For builders upgrading to a Factory Team RC10B7.1 or looking to maximise performance on an existing B7.1 platform, these carbon blocks represent a direct path to genuinely improved lap times and more enjoyable driving dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these carbon caster and steering blocks fit my RC10B7.1? — Yes, these are the genuine Factory Team caster and steering blocks specifically engineered for the RC10B7.1 and RC10B7.1D models. As the authentic Associated part number AS92577, they are designed to work seamlessly with these chassis platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and proper handling geometry.
• What's the advantage of carbon over aluminium steering blocks? — Carbon construction provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminium or plastic alternatives. This means you get exceptional rigidity for precise wheel geometry control whilst reducing unsprung mass, which directly improves traction, suspension response, and overall handling performance on the track.
• Are these competition-grade parts suitable for casual bashers? — Absolutely. Whilst these are Factory Team specification blocks used in competitive racing, they're perfectly suitable for any RC buggy builder or enthusiast who values performance and durability. They'll improve handling on any RC10B7.1 platform, whether you're racing competitively or enjoying weekend bashing sessions with friends.
• Why would I upgrade to carbon caster and steering blocks? — Your steering and caster blocks control critical suspension geometry at the front of your buggy — they directly influence how responsive your steering feels, how well your buggy grips in corners, and how stable it remains under acceleration. Carbon blocks offer superior rigidity and consistency compared to standard plastic or aluminium alternatives, resulting in more predictable handling, better feedback to the driver, and improved lap times on the track.
• Do I need any other parts to install these blocks? — These blocks replace your existing caster and steering block assembly, so you'll need your existing suspension arms, pivot balls, and mounting hardware. If you're building a complete new RC10B7.1, you'll need a full chassis kit, suspension components, motor, ESC, battery, and radio system to complete the build.
• Are these Factory Team blocks worth the investment? — Yes. Factory Team specification means these blocks are engineered to the standards used in professional racing programmes. You're investing in proven performance parts that deliver measurable improvements in handling precision, durability, and cornering consistency — advantages you'll feel immediately in your driving experience.
