Technical Performance
The Team Associated AS25906 servo and bellcrank mount top component is integral to the Rival MT8's steering system, which features a metal servo horn and high-torque digital servo capable of delivering responsive turning across all terrain types. The Rival MT8 itself is powered by a 2100kV high-torque Reedy brushless motor paired with a 150A ESC, generating impressive power and acceleration that places significant stress on all steering components during aggressive driving and high-speed manoeuvres. The steering assembly, including this top mount, must withstand rapid directional changes, impacts from obstacles, and the lateral forces generated by the truck's aggressive monster truck tyres gripping uneven ground. The AS25906 is engineered from the same precision-manufactured materials as the original factory component, ensuring it maintains the exact geometry and tolerances necessary for smooth, accurate steering response. As part of the Rival MT8's all-metal drivetrain and sealed, durable mechanical systems, this steering mount contributes to the truck's reputation as a built-to-last 1/8 scale brushless monster truck capable of running on either 6S or 4S LiPo batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Team Associated AS25906 and what does it do? — The AS25906 is the top mounting bracket for the servo and bellcrank assembly in the Rival MT8 steering system. This component holds the digital servo and steering bellcrank in their correct position, allowing precise directional control. It's an essential part that may need replacement if damaged through heavy impacts or normal wear over time.
- Will this part fit my Rival MT8? — Yes, the AS25906 is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Team Associated spare part designed specifically for the Rival MT8 1/8 scale monster truck. It provides perfect fitment without modification. If you own a Rival MT8, this component is compatible with your vehicle.
- Is this suitable for beginners or experienced RC enthusiasts? — This is a replacement spare part intended for owners of an existing Rival MT8 who need to repair or maintain their steering system. It is not a starter component. The Rival MT8 itself is a ready to run RC truck suitable for experienced hobbyists and intermediate drivers; this particular part is most relevant to those already familiar with RC vehicles and basic maintenance.
- How often will I need to replace this mount? — The servo and bellcrank mount is built to last, but damage can occur from heavy impacts, crashes, or exposure to water and debris. For recreational bashers, regular inspection is recommended, particularly after rough driving sessions. For competitive racing or very intensive use, more frequent checks may be appropriate. Many users find they maintain the same mount for months or years of regular use.
- What tools do I need to install this part? — Installation typically requires basic hex drivers and possibly some small wrenches, tools commonly found in any RC enthusiast's toolkit. The exact tools depend on your specific installation, but Team Associated recommends having a comprehensive tool set like the FT Hex Driver Tool Sets available from RC Model Shop.
- Is this part waterproof? — As a mechanical mounting bracket, the AS25906 itself is not waterproofed, but it is designed to be part of the Rival MT8's overall sealed drivetrain system. The electronic servo requires protection from water; if you plan to run in wet conditions, ensure your servo is suitable for those conditions.
