Moto-Obscura keeps mining the Team Associated vintage seam with a set of aluminium steering bellcranks for the RC10B2, RC10B3 and RC10T3. The part tackles a well-identified weak point on these 1990s chassis.

What the Moto-Obscura bellcranks replace

The kit replaces the stock plastic bellcranks and the servo saver that goes with them in one go. On these buggies and this truck, the period linkage always ends up developing slop, and the sprung servo saver adds its own share of vagueness: swapping them for machined aluminium noticeably changes the feel at the wheel.

Construction and contents

• Machined from quality aluminium, for rigidity and steering precision
• Runs on ball bearings
• Setup shims included
• Choice of black or blue anodising
• Price: $39.95

Compatibility

The bellcranks are listed for the Team Associated RC10B2, RC10B3 and RC10T3. That detail matters at a time when the vintage scene and retro classes are drawing more and more drivers in 1/10 off-road: these chassis are still running, and new original parts are getting scarce.
