Alloy star sinkage rims built for RC18T

This alloy star sinkage surface rim is an RC-scale replacement wheel made for the Associated RC18T chassis. It serves as a direct-fit rim to restore damaged wheels or to provide a consistent mounting surface for typical RC18T foam and rubber tyres. The item is intended for hobby use on model trucks and does not imply use on real vehicles.

Proper installation emphasises full seating and balanced fitment: verify hub hex engagement, check that the rim clears nearby suspension components and bodywork, and confirm tyre bead seating before any high-speed tests. For setup work it helps keep tyre alignment steady and makes handling changes more predictable when you swap tyres or alter track width.

Install these alloy rims when you want a tougher mounting surface for RC18T wheels to support tyre testing and alignment checks.

Do I need extra parts to fit these rims?

They are designed as direct-fit replacements for Associated RC18T; you should still verify hex size and wheel nut fit and have suitable glue or inserts ready for tyres.

Is alloy better than plastic for setup work?

Alloy provides a firmer, more consistent surface for tyre seating which can be useful when running repeated setup tests on the same car.

How should tyres be balanced on these rims?

After mounting and gluing, check radial and lateral balance and make small weight adjustments if necessary to eliminate vibration at speed.

Will foam and rubber tyres both work?

Yes, the rim profile accepts common RC18T foam and rubber tyres; always confirm bead seating and use the right adhesive for the tyre type.
