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

Aluminum rear hub unit for RC18T and RC18R

This machined aluminum rear hub carrier is produced by 3Racing for use on Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis and fits as a direct replacement for the rear suspension hub on 1/18 scale models. The description covers fitment, installation tips, and the part's effect on rear geometry without making performance claims.

Compatibility is limited to Team Associated RC18T and RC18R vehicles. Use this carrier to replace worn or damaged stock components or to change material properties in the rear hub assembly. The machined aluminum construction gives a consistent mounting face and greater rigidity than typical molded parts.

Installation notes: remove the rear wheels and separate the rear hub assembly following your normal service routine, transfer bearings and hardware from the original carrier to the aluminum unit, and reassemble while checking bearing preload and axle play. No special tools beyond a hex driver and basic setup tools are required, but confirm fastener torque and suspension alignment after fitting.

Tuning role: this hub carrier shifts rear wheel location and stiffens the hub mounting area, which can alter toe and camber response under load. Fit it when refining rear-end feel, adjusting toe-in, or when you need repeatable alignment during setup changes.
