RC18T/RC18R Rear Hub Carrier Aluminium Upgrade RC18-010/SI by 3Racing  [RC18-010/SI]

Aluminium rear hub carrier upgrade for RC18T and RC18R

This aluminium rear hub carrier is intended as a replacement for the Team Associated RC18T and RC18R plastic carrier. It provides a more durable mounting point for the rear suspension links and the wheel hub assembly, suited to drivers looking for stronger rear-end hardware.

Confirm compatibility with your RC18T or RC18R chassis before purchase. The carrier is designed to accept the original wheel hub screws and bearings moved from the factory part, preserving the stock suspension geometry unless you intentionally change link positions or fit alternative parts.

Installation can be completed by most hobbyists familiar with routine maintenance. Steps typically include removing the old carrier, fitting bearings and hub components into the new carrier, aligning it on the chassis, and fastening with the original screws. No special tools beyond typical hex drivers are required.

From a setup perspective, aluminium gives a firmer anchor for the rear suspension compared with softer materials. That stiffness helps hold alignment when the car is under load and can make rear tuning results more repeatable, especially with other rear-end upgrades installed.
