Technical Performance
The FT Lockout Slipper Rebuild Kit is engineered to work with Team Associated's advanced slipper clutch technology, which is a critical component in modern RC cars and trucks. The slipper clutch serves to protect your drivetrain by allowing the input shaft to slip when the vehicle experiences sudden deceleration or impacts, preventing catastrophic damage to the gears, bearings and motor. This rebuild kit enables you to replace worn or damaged components within the clutch assembly, restoring it to factory specifications. The kit has been designed with precision engineering standards that match Team Associated's reputation for quality in RC competition vehicles. By maintaining your slipper clutch through regular servicing with this rebuild kit, you'll extend the lifespan of your entire drivetrain and ensure your RC car continues to deliver the smooth, predictable power delivery that Associated vehicles are known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a slipper clutch and why do I need to rebuild it? — A slipper clutch is a critical component that protects your RC car's drivetrain by allowing controlled slipping under extreme loads or sudden deceleration. Over time and with regular use, the internal components wear down and lose their effectiveness. This rebuild kit allows you to replace those worn parts and restore your slipper clutch to its original performance specifications without purchasing an entirely new clutch assembly.
- Which Team Associated models is this rebuild kit compatible with? — The FT Lockout Slipper Rebuild Kit is specifically designed for Team Associated models equipped with the FT Lockout Slipper clutch system. The primary compatibility is with the DR10 and the AS72026 FT Lockout Slipper Clutch assembly. If you're unsure whether your vehicle uses this clutch system, we recommend contacting our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop for confirmation before ordering.
- Do I need any special tools to use this rebuild kit? — While the source material doesn't specify what tools are required, slipper clutch rebuild is typically a task for those with some mechanical experience with RC vehicles. We recommend consulting your vehicle's manual or contacting our team for guidance on the rebuild process if you're new to this type of maintenance.
- How often should I rebuild my slipper clutch? — The frequency of rebuilding depends on how often you use your RC car and the intensity of that use. Regular competitive racers may need to service their clutches more frequently than casual weekend bashers. We recommend inspecting your clutch regularly and rebuilding it when you notice performance degradation or slipping issues.
- Is this a genuine Team Associated product? — Yes, this is an authentic Team Associated rebuild kit supplied through authorised retailers like RC Model Shop. Genuine OEM parts ensure compatibility and performance consistency with your Associated RC vehicle.
