Team Associated RC18 Rear Hub Carrier RC18-010/BU Aluminium Upgrade for RC18T/RC18R by 3Racing  [RC18-010/BU]

Precision aluminium rear hub for RC18T and RC18R

This precision aluminium rear hub carrier is produced by 3Racing to serve as a direct-fit upgrade for the rear suspension hub on Team Associated RC18T and RC18R 1/18 scale models. The description focuses on fitment, installation guidance, and how the carrier influences rear geometry without making performance promises.

Compatibility is specific to Team Associated RC18T and RC18R. Use this carrier to swap out worn plastic parts or to introduce a stiffer mounting point in the rear suspension. The machined aluminium construction yields consistent faces for repeatable location and improved rigidity over typical moulded components.

Installation guidance: remove the rear wheels and separate the rear hub assembly following your normal service routine, transfer bearings and hardware to the aluminium carrier, and reassemble while checking bearing preload and axle play. Only common hex tools and setup aids are required; verify fastener torque and suspension alignment after installation.

Tuning notes: installing this carrier affects hub stiffness and rear wheel positioning, which can change how toe and camber behave under load. It is useful when refining rear-end balance, experimenting with toe-in, and when repeatable alignment is needed for comparative testing.
