- Team Associated B74 Set-by-Step Build -

We (Ruddog Distribution) are building our Team Associated B74 display model for next weekend's EOS at the Arena 33. Here is a detailed step-by-step build of the latest 4wd weapon from Team Associated. Please note that this is a preproduction car and so still at prototype stage. There might be changes to the final production kit due to onging R&D.

  • The first step of the build is to attach the plastic side guards to the chassis as well as mounting the carbon fiber chassis stiffeners.

  • That's inside bag 2: front and rear arms aswell as aluminium suspension mounts and inserts.

  • After bag 2 the arms are fully attached to the chassis. The tolerances on the arms are absolutely perfect. No binding and free movement right out of the box.

  • A closer look at the front suspension

  • The rear suspension.

  • Bag 3 includes the front and rear differential. The front and rear ring gear is now fully machined for lowest resistance. Also the cross pins are now made from aluminium as standard.

  • The Ready-built differentials. Fully assembled differentials.

  • Bag 4 includes the gear cases and the center drivetrain.

  • Partially assembled center driveshafts. The pinion gear has now deep holes for a secure mount of the set screw. Also the driveshaft pins are secured by a aluminium cap.

  • The front and rear gearbox fully assembled. Important for the height adjustability of the differential outdrive to adapt your car to different ride heights and track conditions.

  • Bag 5 includes the aluminium front and rear bulkheads aswell as 4mm carbon fiber shouch towers.

  • The car after step 5 of the build.

  • Bag 6 includes the anti-roll bars.

  • Which are now also laser edged. Inside the kit you get a 1.2mm and 1.3mm anti-roll bar for dirt and a 1.6mm and 1.7mm for astroturf and carpet. Also available with the part number AE92161 is a full set from 1.0mm to 2.0mm. Also the anti-roll bars are now identical front and rear.

  • Bag 7 includes the complete steering

  • Which includes a aluminium steering plate as standard. Also the aluminium steering posts got thicker in size for better durability.

  • Bag 8....front hubs and driveshafts

  • Bag 9: Rear Hubs and driveshafts

  • The rear hubs have now a better adjustability. There are also different lengths of driveshafts available to adjust your B74 even better to the track conditions.

  • Bag 10 includes the turnbuckles.

  • Bag 11: Slipper clutch and motor mount.

  • Included are two spur gear for stock and modified.

  • Bag 12 includes the shocks

  • Which have a new length to fit the new suspension geometry of the B74.

  • Bag 13: Servo and battery mount

  • The electronics we have chosen for our B74.

  • RP-0176 RUDDOG RR482 receiver (Sanwa Compatible)
  • AE27033 Reedy Blackbox 1000Z+ Pro ESC
  • AE27403 Reedy S+Plus 13.5T Motor
