FAQ

What does Team Associated ASS32097 fit? ASS32097 is an optional Factory Team ballstud for the Team Associated RC10TC8 platform, with documented compatibility covering the TC8 Graphite-Spec and TC8 Steel-Spec.

Is ASS32097 a standard replacement or an upgrade? ASS32097 is an optional Factory Team titanium upgrade. Team Associated identifies #32040 as the corresponding standard HD Short 8mm ballstud.

Where is ASS32097 used on the RC10TC8? The RC10TC8 Graphite-Spec and Steel-Spec manuals show #32097 in the servo horn and steering linkage assembly, where it is used with the corresponding TC8 ball cup and linkage.

Does ASS32097 replace Team Associated 32040? ASS32097 is the Factory Team titanium alternative to #32040 in compatible locations. Team Associated's TC8 manuals show both part numbers as options for the same 8mm short ballstud position.

What is the benefit of the titanium version? Titanium provides a lightweight and corrosion-resistant hardware option compared with the corresponding standard steel ballstud, making it suitable for competition builds where hardware mass is being optimised.

Does the 8mm specification mean the threaded section is 8mm long? Team Associated officially describes #32097 as an HD Titanium Ballstud Short 8mm. The manufacturer documentation reviewed does not explicitly define the 8mm designation as threaded-shaft length, so it should be treated as the manufacturer's ballstud size designation.

How many ballstuds are included? Team Associated ASS32097 contains two Factory Team HD Titanium Short 8mm ballstuds.
