Associated RC 18T Aftermarket Front Alloy Rim 3D Sinkage 5-Pole - AR0527F by GPM  [AR0527F]

Aftermarket front rims for 18T

This aftermarket front rim set suits the Associated RC 18T and uses a 3D sinkage contour with a five-pole spoke layout to control bead seating. The alloy construction is intended for front-axle use on short-course 18T models and the part number aids fit verification.

Fitment is generally direct replacement: the AR0527F uses standard wheel mounting hardware and the existing hex interface on 18T hubs. Basic shop tools like a hex driver and wheel nut spanner are all that are normally required. Clean hub threads and hex faces before assembly for reliable seating.

Tuning considerations: the sinkage profile and spoke pattern influence how the tyre bead seats and can change front-end feedback. Test different tyre inserts and adjust seating to achieve consistent steering and tyre wear patterns before competitive running.

Maintenance guidance: wipe alloy surfaces clean after use and check mounting faces and threads for wear. Replace any damaged wheel nuts or hex adapters to prevent runout. This item is for hobby model use only and should be maintained as part of your regular RC upkeep.
