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

Aluminium rear hub carrier for RC18 platforms

This aluminium rear hub carrier is produced by 3Racing to fit Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis as a direct replacement for the rear suspension hub on 1/18 scale vehicles. The overview covers compatibility, practical installation advice, and how the component affects rear geometry without asserting performance claims.

Compatibility: intended exclusively for Team Associated RC18T and RC18R. Install this carrier to replace worn or damaged plastic units or to change the mounting stiffness in the rear hub assembly. Machined aluminium provides stable mounting surfaces and greater rigidity than common moulded parts.

Fitting notes: remove the rear wheels and separate the rear hub assembly per your chassis maintenance routine, transplant bearings and hardware from the original carrier to the aluminium unit, and reassemble while checking bearing preload and axle endplay. Standard hex drivers and setup tools are sufficient; always confirm fastener torque and suspension alignment following installation.

Tuning considerations: the carrier alters hub stiffness and the rear wheel location, which can modify toe and camber behaviour during load transitions. Fit this part when pursuing repeatable alignment, adjusting toe-in, or refining rear-end handling characteristics.
