The captured design is a game-changer for RC hobbyists who demand reliability and peace of mind while driving their favourite RC10 vintage cars. Available now in the UK through authorised retailers like RC Model Shop, these pins represent the latest innovation from Team Associated's Factory Team division, which has a proven track record of delivering competition-grade components that work equally well for weekend bashers and serious racers.

If you own any RC10 2WD or 4WD tub chassis vehicle, whether it's a classic edition, modern variant, or limited edition build, these hinge pins are an essential upgrade. The 58.7mm length is specifically engineered for rear inner suspension mounting points, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal handling characteristics. These pins are part of a complete captured hinge pin system that Team Associated has developed for the entire RC10 range, with complementary king pins and front/rear outer hinge pins also available.

Key Features

• Captured Design — Unlike traditional hinge pins that rely on separate e-clips that can easily become lost or fall off during intense driving, these captured pins feature an integral design that permanently retains the clip, eliminating the risk of losing this critical component and ensuring your suspension always stays properly assembled.
• Factory Team Engineering — These pins are manufactured to Team Associated's Factory Team specifications, representing the same quality and precision used in competition-grade RC cars, ensuring superior durability and performance compared to standard aftermarket alternatives.
• 58.7mm Length for Rear Inner Position — This specific length is engineered for the rear inner hinge pin mounting points on RC10 vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment and correct suspension geometry that directly impacts handling, cornering speed and overall vehicle stability.
• Universal RC10 Compatibility — These pins work with all RC10 2WD and 4WD tub chassis vehicles, covering the complete range of RC10 models including RC10 Classic variants, modern RC10 editions and all special limited editions, making them an excellent upgrade choice for any RC10 owner in the UK.
• Enhanced Durability — The captured design not only prevents component loss but also provides superior structural integrity during high-impact driving, aggressive cornering and sustained racing sessions where traditional pins might fail or separate.
• Peace of Mind During Driving — By eliminating the possibility of e-clip loss, these pins allow you to focus on driving technique and performance rather than worrying about mechanical failures or unscheduled maintenance stops to reattach clips.
• Part of a Complete System — These rear inner pins are one component in Team Associated's comprehensive captured hinge pin lineup, which includes king pins (28.2mm), front outer hinge pins (33.2mm), rear outer hinge pins (38.8mm), and front inner hinge pins (43.5mm), allowing you to upgrade your entire suspension to Factory Team standards.

Technical Performance

The Team Associated FT Captured Rear Inner Hinge Pins 58.7mm are manufactured with precision tolerances and superior materials that meet Factory Team engineering standards. At 58.7mm in length, these pins are sized precisely for the rear inner suspension mounting points on RC10 2WD and 4WD tub chassis vehicles, ensuring they deliver the exact geometry required for optimal handling, weight transfer and cornering performance. The captured design uses an integrated e-clip mechanism that is permanently affixed to the pin, eliminating the traditional two-piece assembly that has plagued RC enthusiasts for years. This engineering improvement means you can drive with confidence knowing your suspension geometry will remain constant throughout your entire driving session, whether you're competing in a formal race at a UK RC club or enjoying casual bashing in your garden or local park. The 58.7mm specification is part of Team Associated's Factory Team Captured series, which has been engineered specifically for RC10 vintage cars that demand competition-grade reliability. The barcode 784695069749 identifies this as genuine Team Associated Factory Team equipment, ensuring you receive authentic, quality components that will integrate seamlessly with your RC10 chassis.
