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

Aluminum rear hub carrier for RC18T and RC18R

This aluminum rear hub carrier is a scale replacement made for Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis. It serves as a direct-fit alternative to the original plastic carrier and provides a sturdy mounting point for rear suspension links and the wheel hub assembly.

Compatibility is limited to the RC18T and RC18R models, so check your chassis code before purchasing. The carrier is designed to accept the existing wheel hub hardware and bearings transferred from the original part, keeping stock suspension geometry unless link positions or other components are changed.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with basic RC teardown. Typical steps include removing the old carrier, moving bearings and hub parts into the new carrier, aligning the unit, and securing it with the original screws. No special tools are required beyond standard hex drivers used in RC assembly.

In setup and tuning, an aluminum carrier gives a firmer mounting point compared with softer materials. That increased rigidity helps maintain alignment under load and can improve consistency when tuning rear-end handling or upgrading other rear suspension parts.
