Team Associated RC18T Graphite Front Shock Tower Performance RC18-005B by 3Racing  [RC18-005B]

Performance graphite tower for RC18T SSG

This RC-scale front shock tower is an aftermarket replacement targeted at Team Associated RC18T SSG racers who need a stiffer front suspension anchor. Built from graphite, the unit trades some compliant flex for a firmer mounting surface compared with stock plastic, and it includes a body post to keep the shell seated during track sessions.

Fitting is aimed at experienced hobbyists and is straightforward: remove the factory tower, transfer any existing posts and screws, and refit the graphite tower using the stock screw locations. Standard hex tools suffice and no chassis modification should be required thanks to the retained mounting geometry.

As a tuning item, the tower yields a firmer shock interface that changes roll centre behaviour and the front end's initial response to inputs. Install it when you want clearer steering feedback or are running harsher spring/damper setups; then adjust shock positions and anti-roll bar settings to fine-tune balance for circuit or club layouts.
