Team Associated’s 12mm 1:10 Scale 12mm Big Bore Shocks
Team Associated has released details of a new range of 12mm big bore shock absorbers. They are precision CNC machined from hard anodised aluminium with aluminium shock caps, threaded collars and seal caps. These shocks have been tested and developed by Team Associated’s top drivers to provide a plush and consistent feel for the 1:10 off-road fleet of Team Associated vehicles. Since their winning debut in prototype form at the 2012 Cactus Classic, the team has used them to win every major event in the US including a dominating performance by Ryan Cavalieri at the ROAR 1:10 Off-Road Super Nationals in 2WD and 4WD Modified. Some of the key features are:
12mm hard anodised big bore threaded shock body
Titanium Nitride (TiN) 3mm shock shaft with stronger M3 threads
Black hard-anodised aluminium shock cap with bleeder screw
12mm two-hole piston (1.5mm, 1.6mm and 1.7mm)
Shock shaft hat bushing guide ensures concentric shock shaft alignment
Optimised seal gland fit for smooth and consistent performance
Factory Team blue anodised aluminium seal gland cap
Factory Team blue anodised aluminium shock collar
Three spring cup heights (+0mm, +5mm and +9mm offset)
Shock Kits:
91314 12mm Shock Kit (B4/B44 front – all models)
91315 12mm Shock Kit (SC10/T4 front – all models)
91316 12mm Shock Kit (B4/B44 rear – all models)
91317 12mm Shock Kit (SC10/T4 rear – all models)
Alongside the shocks are new 12mm big bore springs for the B4.1, B44.1, T4.1, SC10 and SC10GT. These are black oxide coated to reduce corrosion without affecting rate tolerances and come in two universal lengths. By using different offset spring cups, you can obtain your desired ride height on all platforms with the same front or rear springs so there is no more need for truck and buggy sizes. Precision wound and measured in the USA, they are made from high quality ASTM wire and with a larger diameter to reduce buckling and spring rubbing. They are available in fine spring rate increments (0.15lbs/in front/0.10lbs/in rear and have coloured pre-cut shrink tubing for spring identification. The springs are available individually or as soft, medium and hard kits with the details listed below:
