Overview
The Team Associated DC10 FT Shock Bodies with Kashima Coat represent a premium Factory Team upgrade for your DC10 drift car platform.

Technical Performance
The DC10 FT Shock Bodies with Kashima Coat represent a significant investment in suspension quality for your drift car. The Kashima coat treatment applied to these shock bodies is a professional-grade surface finish that has become standard on high-performance RC shock components worldwide. This coating serves multiple purposes: it dramatically reduces friction within the shock assembly, allowing the internal components to move more freely and consistently; it protects the aluminium shock body from corrosion and wear caused by repeated compression and extension cycles; and it helps maintain precise damping characteristics over extended periods of use. The shock bodies are engineered to provide reliable performance whether you're running through gentle practice sessions or pushing hard during competitive drifting events. The genuine Associated manufacturing process ensures that each shock body meets strict tolerances, guaranteeing that all four bodies in the set perform identically, which is crucial for maintaining balanced handling characteristics across your DC10.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicle does this part fit? — The Team Associated DC10 FT Shock Bodies with Kashima Coat (AS72267) are designed exclusively for the DC10 Drift Car platform, ensuring perfect compatibility with this specific model.
- Why would I need replacement shock bodies for my DC10? — Shock bodies can wear over time through normal use, particularly the internal surfaces that guide the shock shaft. Replacing worn shock bodies restores the responsiveness and consistency of your suspension, which is critical for maintaining the precise handling characteristics that drift driving demands. These replacement bodies are ideal for routine maintenance, complete shock rebuilds, or when refreshing an older DC10 that has seen extensive use.
- What is the Kashima coat and why does it matter? — The Kashima coat is a professional-grade surface treatment that significantly improves the durability and performance of shock bodies. It reduces internal friction, allowing smoother suspension movement, and protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear. This coating is widely recognised by RC enthusiasts across the UK as a mark of quality in high-performance shock components, making these bodies a premium choice compared to untreated alternatives.
- Do these come ready to use or do I need to assemble them? — These are shock bodies only, meaning they are the outer aluminium housings for your shock assembly. To create complete working shocks, you will need shock internals such as shock springs, shock pistons, damping oil, and shock shafts. However, if you're rebuilding existing shocks, you can transfer your existing internals into these new Kashima-coated bodies to restore your suspension to like-new condition.
- How many shock bodies are included? — The package includes four shock bodies, providing a complete set for all four corners of your DC10 drift car, allowing you to perform a full suspension refresh in one purchase.
- Are these genuine Associated parts? — Yes, these are authentic Team Associated Factory Team components, manufactured to the highest standards and confirmed by the official part number AS72267. Purchasing from authorised retailers ensures you receive genuine products with full compatibility and reliability.
