[DC10] FT Aluminum Hub Installed & Compared 🔧 Stock Resin vs Aluminum + Setup Notes | RWD RC Drift

Upgrading the front hubs of the ASSOCIATED DC10 to FT Aluminum Hubs! This video documents the comparison between the stock resin hubs and the optional FT aluminum hubs, along with the visual differences before and after installation. 📸 If you're curious about part compatibility or want to see how the components look when installed, this video is for you. 📌 Key Highlights: - Comparison: Stock Resin Hubs vs FT Aluminum Hubs 📷 - Front hub upgrade while maintaining parallel steering characteristics ⚙️ - Spacer-adjustable hub link positions allow for custom kingpin angle tuning 🔧 - Continued use of the 1.75mm trailing block thanks to hub-compatible design 💡 🚗 A helpful reference for DC10 users and anyone focused on fine-tuning their setup. Take a look and see the upgrade process for yourself 😊 🔧 [Background of the Upgrade] I previously tested the optional FT Aluminum Steering Blocks for the DC10, but couldn’t achieve my preferred parallel steering characteristics. As a result, I reverted to the stock resin hubs. Since the DC10 uses the same hub parts for both front and rear, I decided to purchase another FT Aluminum Hub—already installed in the rear—and install it in the front as well. This allowed me to upgrade the front hubs to aluminum while preserving my ideal steering geometry. 💡 [Benefits of Choosing FT Aluminum Hubs] - Tuning Flexibility: Spacer-adjustable upper and lower hub link positions allow for precise kingpin angle customization. - Trailing Block Compatibility: The 1.75mm trailing block—an option part exclusive to hub-type setups—can continue to be used, preserving the desired front-end geometry. As a result, I was able to upgrade the front-end rigidity and precision without compromising my carefully dialed-in parallel steering setup. 🧭 Note: This video is intended as a record of the installation process. Rather than reviewing performance, the focus is on objectively documenting the parts and installation results. Driving impressions and setup changes will be shared in a future video. 🎬 Thanks for watching!
