Whether you're a seasoned racer, a weekend basher, or an RC enthusiast looking to maintain your buggy in peak condition, these factory rod ends are an essential spare part that will keep your linkages responsive and your buggy performing at its best.

By choosing genuine Team Associated parts, you're ensuring perfect fitment and consistent performance that matches the original factory specifications.
These replacement rod ends are supplied as factory components under part number AS92579 and are compatible with both the standard RC10B7.1 and the RC10B7.1D variants. They represent exceptional value for money at RC Model Shop, offering you the confidence that comes with genuine manufacturer parts without the inflated pricing you might encounter elsewhere. Stock your spares cabinet with these essential buggy components and keep your RC10B7.1 series machine running smoothly for seasons to come.

Technical Performance
Rod ends are precision-engineered suspension components that play a vital role in the overall performance and handling characteristics of your RC10B7.1 buggy. These factory components are manufactured to exacting tolerances by Team Associated, ensuring they deliver the same level of performance and durability that the original equipment offers. The material composition and manufacturing process utilise proven engineering principles that have been refined through years of competitive racing and hobby use. When rod ends begin to wear, even slightly, the effect on your buggy's handling can be dramatic—steering response becomes less precise, the suspension articulation loses smoothness, and overall performance suffers. By maintaining a fresh set of genuine rod ends, you ensure that every input from your transmitter translates directly and accurately to the wheels of your RC10B7.1, whether you're competing in a UK-based RC racing event or simply enjoying weekend bashing sessions. The importance of using genuine Team Associated components cannot be overstated, as they guarantee perfect fitment, appropriate material properties, and longevity that meets the engineering standards the RC10B7.1 platform was designed around.
