Team Associated factory drivers have been seen testing more and more new prototype parts for the RC8.2. Amongst those new parts is aluminum vertical caster blocks and spindles. Today Team Associated has officially announced the release of these new parts to the public!
 
Team Associated Press Release:
 
Precision machined from 7075 aluminum, these 16° caster blocks and spindles have been tested and
developed by Team Associated’s top pilots to provide a more forgiving steering feel and improved suspension
characteristics. Used to secure wins at countless events, including the Silver State Nitro Challenge, Alabama
Manufacturers Shootout, and French Nationals, the Vertical Caster Blocks and Spindle assembly further
optimizes the geometry for all RC8 vehicle platforms.
 
Features include:
  • Integrated steering stops
  • Lowered roll center
  • Allows lubrication of bearings while assembled
  • Hat bushings and pins are now secured with set screws (requires thread lock, not included)
  • Some removal of material from the A-arm is required to achieve full steering thro
They fit all early and later models of the RC8, RC8T, and SC8, nitro and electric.
