Technical Performance
The RC10B7 platform represents a significant achievement in off-road RC buggy design, and these 8mm shock bushings are engineered to match the suspension specifications of this class-leading chassis. Suspension bushings are engineered polymer or composite components that serve as mounting interfaces within the shock assembly, allowing controlled movement whilst maintaining structural integrity under the demanding forces experienced during high-speed driving, cornering and landing from jumps. The 8mm specification indicates the inner diameter of the bushing, which must match precisely with the shock shaft or mounting rod to ensure smooth operation without binding or rattling. Team Associated manufactures these components to exacting tolerances, ensuring that wear and tear from extensive use is minimised and that your RC10B7's suspension continues to deliver responsive, predictable handling. The bushings are typically made from advanced polymer materials selected for their durability, low friction characteristics and resistance to the oil and grease commonly used in RC suspension systems. When installed correctly as part of a full suspension service, these bushings contribute significantly to maintaining the ride quality, bump absorption and overall chassis control that makes the RC10B7 such a competitive and enjoyable platform for UK RC drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock bushings suitable for all RC10B7 models? — Yes, these 8mm shock bushings are designed as standard parts for the RC10B7 platform. However, we recommend checking your kit manual for specific quantities required for your particular RC10B7 variant and for detailed installation guidance specific to your chassis configuration.
- How often should I replace my RC10B7 shock bushings? — The frequency of replacement depends on how intensively you use your RC buggy. Regular bashers and competitive drivers should inspect their bushings every few weeks of active use. Signs of wear include excessive play in the shock assembly, rattling noises during suspension movement, or visible cracking in the polymer material. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to refresh your bushings.
- What's included with these bushings? — These parts are supplied as standard replacement bushings only. Please refer to your RC10B7 kit manual to confirm the exact quantity needed for your model, as different variants may require different numbers of bushings.
- Can I use these bushings on other RC cars? — These bushings are specifically designed for the RC10B7 platform with an 8mm specification. Whilst other Team Associated models may have bushings of the same 8mm size, we recommend checking compatibility with your specific model before purchasing. Using incorrect bushings can result in poor suspension performance and potential damage to your shock assembly.
- Is professional installation required? — No, these are straightforward replacement parts that any RC enthusiast with basic maintenance skills can install. However, if you're unfamiliar with suspension servicing, we recommend consulting your RC10B7 kit manual or contacting our experienced team at RC Model Shop for guidance on proper installation techniques.
- Why is it important to use genuine Team Associated parts? — Genuine Team Associated components are engineered to exact specifications and manufactured to strict quality standards. Using genuine parts ensures perfect fitment with your RC10B7 chassis, maintains the intended suspension geometry, and guarantees compatibility with other components in your suspension system. This is particularly important for suspension components, where even minor dimensional variations can affect handling and durability.
