Team Associated RC18T Graphite Front Shock Tower with Body Post RC18-005B by 3Racing  [RC18-005B]

Front graphite shock mount for RC18T SSG

This RC-scale front shock tower is a direct-replacement hop-up aimed at Team Associated RC18T SSG owners who want a firmer mounting point for the front suspension. Made from graphite, the part keeps weight low while offering more predictable flex control than standard plastic towers, and it features an integrated body post for secure shell mounting during race runs and practice sessions.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists used to short course trucks: remove the factory front tower, transfer any existing hardware and posts to the graphite unit, and refit using the original screw points. No special tools beyond common hex drivers are required, and the piece is designed to use the stock mounting geometry so chassis modifications should not be necessary.

From a setup perspective, this tower gives a firmer shock mounting point that influences roll center and the front suspension's initial feedback. Fit it when you want crisper steering response or when running firmer spring and damper combinations; you will likely need to fine-tune shock eyelet positions and sway bar settings to reach the best balance for your track.
