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

Rear aluminium hub carrier for RC18T and RC18R

This aluminium rear hub carrier is a purpose-built replacement for Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis. It replaces the original plastic carrier and provides a stronger mounting point for the rear suspension links and wheel hub assembly.

Compatibility is specifically for the RC18T and RC18R; verify your chassis code before ordering. The carrier accepts the factory wheel hub hardware and bearings when transferred from the original part, so stock suspension geometry is maintained unless link locations or other components are altered.

Fitting the carrier is a routine job for those comfortable with basic RC strip-down. Typical procedures include removing the old carrier, transferring bearings and hub parts, aligning the new carrier on the chassis, and tightening with the original screws. No specialist tools are required beyond standard hex drivers.

When tuning, an aluminium carrier offers a firmer mounting surface than some softer materials, helping to keep alignment consistent under load and aiding predictable rear-end behaviour while adjusting suspension or fitting other rear upgrades.
