This is an RC-scale front replacement rim for the Associated RC18T platform, made from aluminium alloy with a swirl surface and a 3 poles pattern. It is offered as a direct visual and structural alternative to the stock front rims on the RC18T chassis and is supplied as 1pr.
In use the alloy rim delivers two practical benefits: a stiffer wheel mounting surface than many stock plastic rims, and a consistent seating surface for tyres and cosmetic enhancement. Switching from plastic to alloy can slightly change rotational inertia and heat transfer, so expect only modest handling differences that are best evaluated with small tuning adjustments.
Fitting is straightforward for those familiar with the RC18T front end. The rim is sized for the Associated RC18T front attachment points; confirm clearance against the front hubs and check that wheel mounting hardware is tightened and free of interference before running.
