Technical Performance
The Team Associated TC8 is built to exacting standards, and the anti-roll bar system is a precision component that requires quality hardware to function correctly. The AS32035 hardware set comprises the fasteners, brackets, bushings and connecting components specifically engineered for the TC8's suspension geometry. These small but critical parts work together to transfer suspension forces, maintain anti-roll bar preload, and ensure the sway bar articulates smoothly without play or binding. Team Associated's engineering ensures that every component in this hardware set is manufactured to tight tolerances from materials selected for durability and reliability. For those running their TC8 regularly in competitive or recreational settings, the anti-roll bar hardware experiences continuous stress from cornering forces, braking loads and rough terrain impacts. Over time, fasteners can loosen, bushings can wear, and brackets can develop play, all of which degrade suspension performance and handling precision. This genuine OEM replacement set restores those components to factory specifications, ensuring your chassis maintains the responsive handling and predictable behaviour that makes the TC8 such a competitive platform. Whether you're maintaining a vehicle that's seen hundreds of hours of use or performing preventative maintenance on a relatively new TC8, this hardware set delivers the authenticity and engineering quality you need for reliable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly is an anti-roll bar and why does it need replacement hardware? — The anti-roll bar (sway bar) is a suspension component that reduces body roll during cornering by transferring load between wheels on the same axle. The hardware set includes the fasteners, bushings and brackets that hold this system together. Over time, these small parts wear out, loosen or break due to the constant forces and vibrations from running your RC car, making replacement hardware essential for maintaining suspension performance and handling accuracy.
- Is the AS32035 compatible with all Team Associated TC8 models? — Yes, the AS32035 is designed as a direct replacement for the TC8 anti-roll bar hardware assembly. It provides the standard fitment components needed to restore or upgrade your TC8's roll control system to factory specifications.
- When should I replace my anti-roll bar hardware? — You should replace anti-roll bar hardware when you notice loose or rattling suspension components, inconsistent handling during cornering, or visible wear on fasteners and brackets. Many experienced RC enthusiasts perform preventative maintenance on their TC8 by refreshing suspension hardware after significant use or at the start of each racing season to eliminate variables that could affect performance.
- Do I need any special tools to install this hardware set? — The AS32035 is designed for straightforward installation using basic RC tools such as hex keys and standard screwdrivers. If you're comfortable performing routine maintenance on your TC8, you'll have no difficulty installing this hardware set. However, if you're unsure about suspension work, our team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide guidance or discuss installation assistance options.
- What is the difference between this hardware set and buying parts individually? — This genuine Team Associated OEM set provides exactly the correct components for your TC8's anti-roll bar assembly in one convenient package, ensuring you don't miss any fasteners or brackets. It's more economical than sourcing parts individually and guarantees compatibility and fitment since all components are engineered together by Team Associated.
- Is this suitable for beginner RC enthusiasts? — Whilst this is a genuine OEM spare part rather than a complete vehicle, it's suitable for any TC8 owner interested in learning basic suspension maintenance. Beginners should recognise that anti-roll bar work requires some mechanical knowledge; our team at RC Model Shop can provide advice on installation if you're new to this type of maintenance work.
