Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Team Associated TC8 Spool AS32069 compatible with both TC8 variants? — Yes, this part is confirmed to fit both the TC8 Graphite-Spec and TC8 Steel-Spec vehicles. It is a standard fitment component designed to work seamlessly with both specifications of the TC8 platform, so you can purchase with confidence regardless of which version you own.
- What is the tooth count and why does it matter? — This spool features a 38-tooth spur gear pulley configuration. The tooth count determines the gear ratio and power delivery characteristics of your drivetrain. The 38T specification is engineered specifically for the TC8, providing the optimal balance between acceleration and top-end speed for both competitive racing and recreational driving.

This ensures it meets the exact specifications and quality standards that Team Associated designed into the TC8 platform, providing superior reliability and longevity compared to third-party options.
- Why would I need to replace my spool and pulley? — Over time, the teeth on your spur gear can wear down from regular use, leading to inconsistent meshing with your pinion gear, which causes noise, vibration, and reduced efficiency. Replacing your spool and pulley restores smooth power delivery and can actually improve your car's performance and driveability. This is a standard maintenance item for competitive RC racers and serious enthusiasts.
- How does this compare to other Team Associated TC8 drivetrain options? — The AS32069 is the factory-specification spool and pulley for the TC8. It represents the baseline configuration that all TC8 vehicles use.
