Economy graphite main chassis for RC18T

This economy graphite main chassis is intended as a direct replacement for Associated RC18T models and is supplied as a single-piece set. Included hardware comprises alloy mounts, screws, e-clips and Delrin posts where applicable, providing the essentials to swap the mainplate on a stock RC18T.

Manufactured to match the original mounting geometry, the chassis keeps the same footprint and attachment points as the OEM plate. The graphite centre section seeks to preserve stock-like torsional response while alloy mounts stiffen key suspension and gearbox interfaces.

Use this chassis when a low-cost replacement or a simple setup baseline is required. It supports standard tuning changes including ride height, weight bias and orientation without modifying servo, ESC, motor or suspension parts.

Specifications

  • Item: Associated RC18T graphite main chassis set, 1pc set economy version
  • Material: Graphite center chassis, alloy mounts, Delrin posts
  • Model Number: GAR016
  • Compatibility: Associated RC18T

If you want a practical, budget-friendly chassis that retains original mounting points and predictable tuning response, the GPM GAR016 graphite main chassis restores or refreshes an Associated RC18T platform effectively.

The chassis follows the stock layout; custom motor mounts may require checks for clearance and alignment but the base plate should accept common aftermarket motor mount styles.
Yes, the economy set includes the listed hardware. Confirm that your existing electronics and driveline items are compatible before final assembly.
Alloy mounts increase local stiffness and can change contact forces at mounting points; routine inspection is recommended but they are commonly used for durability and repeatable setup.
Graphite mainplates used here aim to balance stiffness and predictable flex; full carbon options may be stiffer and tuned for competition, while this economy graphite option suits reliable baseline setups.
