3Racing RC18-005A Graphite Front Shock Tower for Team Associated RC18T  [RC18-005A]

Precision Graphite Upgrade for RC18T

The Team Associated RC18T Graphite Front Shock Tower by 3Racing, model number RC18-005A, is a focused upgrade aimed at drivers who want a stiffer, more repeatable front end. This graphite plate increases resistance to flex while keeping weight low, helping tuning-minded racers refine front-end behavior and body post placement.

Benefits of Graphite in Front Mounts

Graphite is chosen for its high stiffness to weight ratio, delivering solid support without a heavy penalty. Using a graphite shock tower helps preserve suspension geometry under load, which supports sharper turn-in and steadier responses in fast sections.

Designed for a Direct Fit

This shock tower is engineered to match the Team Associated RC18T mounting pattern so it integrates with the stock layout. That means swaps are straightforward with minimal setup changes required to use the RC18-005A on a standard RC18T chassis.

Improved Body Post Location

Accurate body post alignment reduces body movement and keeps aerodynamic profile consistent during a run. The integrated post positions on this tower help maintain body placement for cleaner airflow and predictable handling.
