Overview
The Team Associated RC10B7.1 FT -1° Aluminium Arm Mount C is a genuine Factory Team component specifically engineered for RC10B7.1 series buggies equipped with the 3-gear gearbox. This precision-machined aluminium arm mount delivers the C-position geometry that serious RC racers and enthusiasts demand when setting up their 1/10 scale buggies for competitive track use or practice day performance. Whether you're a seasoned RC buggy competitor or an experienced hobbyist looking to optimise your setup, this authentic Team Associated part ensures your RC car UK build maintains the exact geometry specifications required for consistent handling and performance.
As a dedicated spares and upgrades component, the AS92585 arm mount is essential for maintenance, repair, and configuration changes on compatible RC10B7.1 platform vehicles. The Factory Team (FT) designation confirms this is a premium, directly-sourced Team Associated part that meets the same exacting standards as OEM components. Aluminium construction provides exceptional durability while maintaining a lightweight profile, making it ideal for builders who demand reliability without unnecessary weight penalty. This is the kind of precision component that separates well-maintained competitive RC buggies from casual bash cars, and it's the choice of serious RC enthusiasts across the UK who understand the importance of genuine parts.
The -1° arm geometry specification is critical for fine-tuning your buggy's suspension kinematics and steering response. By swapping arm mounts, you can adjust your RC buggy's setup to suit different track conditions, driving styles, and weather. This genuine Team Associated component ensures you're making precise, predictable adjustments rather than relying on inferior aftermarket alternatives. Stock it in your spares box and keep your RC10B7.1 running at peak performance whenever you need it.
Key Features
- Factory Team (FT) Genuine Component — This is an authentic Team Associated Factory Team part, not an aftermarket copy, ensuring it meets the exact engineering specifications and tolerances that professional RC buggy builders trust. Using genuine Team Associated spares maintains the integrity of your RC10B7.1 platform.
- Aluminium Construction — The arm mount is machined from high-quality aluminium, providing a perfect balance between durability and lightweight performance. Aluminium resists corrosion and maintains dimensional accuracy through repeated use, ensuring consistent handling characteristics lap after lap.
- -1° Geometry Specification — The -1° arm angle is precisely engineered to deliver specific suspension kinematics that affect steering response, roll characteristics, and overall handling balance. This geometry option allows you to fine-tune your RC buggy setup for different track conditions and driving preferences.
- 3-Gear Gearbox Compatible — This arm mount is specifically designed for RC10B7.1 builds running the 3-gear gearbox configuration, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment with your transmission system.
- C-Position Configuration — The C-position geometry is one of several arm mounting options available for the RC10B7.1 platform, allowing you to dial in the precise suspension geometry your setup requires.
- Essential Spares Component — Whether you've damaged an existing arm mount or want to keep spares on hand for quick setup changes between practice sessions, this genuine part is a must-have for serious RC10B7.1 builders.
- Direct Compatible Fitment — Designed to work seamlessly with RC10B7.1 and RC10B7.1D models, plus compatible with AS90046 RC10B7.1 Team Kit and AS90047 RC10B7.1D Team Kit builds.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated RC10B7.1 FT -1° Aluminium Arm Mount C represents precision engineering at its finest. Machined from aerospace-grade aluminium, this component delivers exceptional rigidity whilst maintaining a minimal weight profile. The -1° arm angle geometry is calculated to influence your buggy's anti-squat, roll centre, and steering response characteristics—critical variables that separate competitive setups from casual builds. In the context of 1/10 scale RC buggy racing, these geometric details matter enormously; even a single degree of variation affects how your RC car handles during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The three-gear gearbox configuration this mount is designed for represents a common competition setup that balances acceleration and top-end speed. Team Associated's Factory Team designation means this part has been tested and validated by professional RC racing drivers and engineers, ensuring it meets the demanding standards of UK RC buggy racing and international competition. The aluminium construction resists the wear, vibration, and impacts inherent to competitive RC driving, maintaining its dimensional stability and performance characteristics through hundreds of laps. This is the kind of component that experienced RC builders specify when they're serious about performance and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an arm mount and why would I need to replace it? — An arm mount is the structural component that positions your suspension arm relative to the chassis and gearbox. You might need to replace it if it becomes bent from impacts, cracked from wear, or if you want to change your suspension geometry (like switching from 0° to -1°) for different track conditions. Having spare arm mounts in your spares box means you can make quick setup adjustments without waiting for parts to arrive.
- What's the difference between -1° and other arm mount angles? — The angle of your arm mount affects suspension kinematics including anti-squat and roll characteristics. A -1° mount will change how your RC buggy's suspension behaves during acceleration and cornering compared to 0° or +1° options. Competitive builders often have multiple arm mounts on hand to dial in the perfect setup for specific track conditions.
- Is this compatible with my RC10B7.1? — Yes, the AS92585 is specifically engineered for Team Associated RC10B7.1 and RC10B7.1D models equipped with the 3-gear gearbox. It's also compatible with AS90046 RC10B7.1 Team Kit and AS90047 RC10B7.1D Team Kit builds. Always confirm your gearbox type before ordering.
- Why should I buy genuine Team Associated parts instead of aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Team Associated Factory Team parts are engineered and tested to exact specifications by the same engineers who design the vehicles. Aftermarket parts may fit but could introduce dimensional tolerances that affect handling consistency. When you're investing time and money into RC buggy racing, using authentic parts ensures you're building a precision machine rather than hoping an inferior component performs adequately.
- How do I know if my arm mount needs replacing? — Inspect your arm mount regularly for cracks, bending, or visible damage. Even small bends can subtly affect your suspension geometry and handling. If you've had a hard crash or your handling feels inconsistent between sessions, a damaged arm mount could be the culprit. This is why serious RC builders keep spares.
- Can I use this on my friend's RC10B7.1 if they have a different gearbox configuration? — No, this mount is specifically designed for the 3-gear gearbox. Using it on a different gearbox configuration could result in misalignment and poor handling. Always check gearbox type before installing any arm mount.
