This graphite main shaft is produced for the Associated RC18T platform and supplied as a single replacement item. It acts as the direct-drive shaft in the RC18T drivetrain, moving motor torque into the gearbox and across the spur and pinion train.
The graphite build offers a compromise of stiffness and lower rotating mass versus heavier metal shafts, helping to reduce rotational inertia while maintaining adequate strength for routine track use. As an aftermarket replacement it keeps the RC18T chassis geometry unchanged.
Installation is performed inside the gearbox area: remove the factory shaft and fit this replacement in the same orientation. After fitting verify spur and pinion alignment, set gear mesh correctly and check bearing seating. The product is sold as 1 pcs and is intended as a spare or direct replacement for worn or upgraded shafts on Associated RC18T cars.
