B84 Wide Pivot Front Suspension

Take your B84 or B84D to the next level with this list of parts to convert to wide pivot front suspension setup.

This setup is designed to give you that planted, high-performance feel by increasing frontend stability and overall durability.

Here is a list of parts needed for the conversion:

#92604 RC10T84 arm mount A

#92605 RC10T84 arm mount B

#92609 RC10T84 bumper set

#92614 RC10B84 side rail V2 or #92615 RC10B84 FT carbon side rail V2 (Note: original side rail can be used however, trimming the front edge will be needed)

#92624 RC10B84 front suspension arms, 73mm or #92625 RC10B84 FT carbon front suspension arms, 73mm

#92622 RC10B84 front shock tower, 73mm arm

#92623 RC10B84 front shock tower cover, 73mm arm

*T84 chassis and 73mm front end parts on the B84*

Team Associated have released some updated parts for the front of the B84. These include wider A/B blocks, 3mm shorter arms, matching tower and bumper, and a wider chassis (which was released on the T84 mini truggy).

These parts give a wider pivot on the front. The main benefit of a wider pivot is that the roll centre drops more as the car rolls, which can smooth out the steering especially in higher grip. The shock and anti-roll bar geometry is unchanged with these parts.

We have been testing these parts and have found in higher grip conditions (eg the oiled track at Keilor on silver ellipses) these have smoothed out the steering and made the car easier to drive. We use the longer front upper link setting in these conditions. In lower grip we have found the shorter link (using the outer camber link hole in the tower) feels best.

Edit: you don't need the chassis to run the wider pivots as they will mount to the original b84 and b84 V2 chassis. But if you want to run the T84 wider front end chassis you need to run the wider pivots.
