Team Associated TC7 Build – Part 7 – Anti-Roll Bar

The Build – Part 7
The Team Associated TC7 comes with front and rear anti-roll bars, both of which are very easy to assemble and install. Follow along.

Build Notes:
Simple procedure, just make sure you put the 1.4mm bar (blue) on the front and the 1.2mm bar (white) on the rear.
Step 1:
Team Associated TC7 Build - Anti-Roll Bar - Step 1
The first thing is to build the anti-roll bar links; screw the couplers and ballstuds into the eyelets. Partially insert the set screws into the couplers; I’ll tighten them in a bit.
Step 2:

Shinking the colored wrap to the bars is optional, but I like to have it to help identify what bars I’m using. Once you’ve decided how to handle that major delimma, slip the bar through the retainer, center it and insert the set screw.
Step 3:
Team Associated TC7 Build - Anti-Roll Bar - Step 3
Set the anti-roll bar in place and secure with the pair of plastic mounts. Screw the 3x3mm set screws into the mounts until they JUST comes in contact with the bar. The bar should move freely; if it doesn’t, back the set screws off slightly.
Step 4:
Team Associated TC7 Build - Anti-Roll Bar - Step 4
Pop the anti-roll bar mounts onto the balls on the suspension arms, then slide the end of the anti-roll bar into the coupler. Tighten the ‘partially inserted’ set screw to lock the anti-roll bar in place.
Step 5:
Team Associated TC7 Build - Anti-Roll Bar - Step 5
Follow the same procedure to attach the rear anti-roll bar.
Team Associated TC7 Build - Anti-Roll Bar - Step 6
Team Associated TC7 Build – Anti-Roll Bar – Step 6
While the mounting point is slightly different, use the same method as we did in Step 4 to attach the links.

Roll controlled. One more step – the electronics. See ya there!
