Key Features

- Octalock Design Technology — The Octalock system is Team Associated's proven clutch engagement mechanism, providing smooth, reliable power transfer and preventing excessive wheel spin whilst maintaining consistent slipper performance across varied track conditions.

- Direct Replacement for AS92285FT — If you're running older Team Associated models with the legacy AS92285FT slipper pad, this newer AS92287 is a direct swap-in upgrade that maintains full compatibility whilst offering any manufacturing improvements Team Associated has incorporated.
- Drivetrain Wear Item — As a consumable clutch component, this slipper pad is designed to wear during normal operation. Regular replacement maintains consistent performance and prevents damage to more expensive drivetrain components like the clutch bell or flywheel.

Technical Performance
The Team Associated Octalock Slipper Pad represents precision engineering in RC drivetrain design. At 11mm, this pad is manufactured to exact tolerances to ensure perfect engagement with the Octalock clutch system found on compatible Team Associated buggies. The slipper pad works in conjunction with the clutch bell and flywheel to regulate power delivery to the wheels, preventing excessive wheelspin under acceleration and maintaining traction throughout cornering. As the pad wears during normal racing and driving operations, its friction characteristics gradually change, which is why regular replacement is essential for maintaining the predictable, responsive handling that Team Associated buggies are renowned for. The AS92287 is compatible with the RC10B7 and RC10B7D chassis platforms, two of Team Associated's most popular 1/10-scale off-road buggies used by competitive racers and enthusiasts throughout the UK. By maintaining your slipper clutch with genuine OEM replacement pads, you protect more costly drivetrain components and ensure your buggy performs consistently session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a slipper pad and why do I need to replace it? — A slipper pad is a friction component in your buggy's clutch system that regulates power delivery to the wheels. It prevents the wheels from spinning excessively when you accelerate hard, helping maintain traction and predictable handling. During normal racing and bashing, these pads gradually wear down due to constant friction, which is why they are classified as consumable wear items. Regular replacement ensures your buggy maintains consistent performance and prevents damage to more expensive components like the clutch bell.
- Is the AS92287 compatible with my Team Associated buggy? — The AS92287 is designed for Team Associated RC10B7 and RC10B7D buggies. If you own either of these models, this is the correct replacement pad. If you have an older model with the AS92285FT slipper pad, this AS92287 is a direct replacement upgrade that maintains full compatibility.
- How often should I replace my slipper pad? — The frequency depends on how much you drive and how aggressively you race. Competitive racers who run multiple sessions per week might replace slipper pads every few months, whilst casual bashers might get several months or longer from a single pad. Inspect your pad regularly and replace it when you notice inconsistent clutch engagement, excessive wheel spin, or visible wear on the friction surface.
- What do I need to do when installing the new slipper pad? — Installation is straightforward and requires basic RC maintenance tools. Remove your buggy's clutch bell and flywheel assembly, swap out the old worn pad for the new AS92287, then reassemble. For best results, inspect all related slipper components during installation and replace any other excessively worn parts at the same time to ensure your entire drivetrain operates optimally.
- Is this a genuine Team Associated part? — Yes, the AS92287 is a genuine OEM spare part manufactured by Team Associated. Using authentic manufacturer parts ensures perfect compatibility, correct specifications, and the quality standards you'd expect from the brand that engineered your buggy.
