Associated RC 18T Graphite full chassis set with alloy mounts by GPM GAR050AMC  [GAR050AMC]

Associated RC 18T Graphite chassis overview

This GPM aftermarket full chassis set is produced for the Associated RC 18T platform and provides a direct-replacement graphite main plate with matching alloy mounts, strap-style battery plate, mounting screws and Delrin posts. Content and layout are intended for 1/18 scale RC18T models and focus on improving chassis rigidity and packaging for track setups.

The graphite main plate keeps a low profile and pairs with the supplied alloy motor and suspension mounts to maintain alignment and reduce flex where racers commonly tune for sharper steering response. The strap battery plate is designed for common pouch or hard-case batteries used in RC18T applications and secures the pack with a mechanical strap rather than a dedicated tray, which can simplify quick battery changes at the pit.

Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with the RC18T layout: replace the factory main plate, transfer or fit the alloy mounts using the supplied screws, and secure the battery with the strap plate and Delrin posts. Follow standard maintenance practice: check thread engagement on alloy parts, use threadlocker on metal-to-metal fasteners if desired, and verify motor alignment before the first run. This set is aimed at hobbyists tuning chassis balance, ride feel, and durability on carpet or outdoor short-course layouts that use the Associated RC 18T platform.

This full chassis set is a direct-fit aftermarket option for RC18T owners seeking a stiffer graphite base and durable alloy mounting points to refine handling and component layout; it suits hobbyists focused on setup adjustments and predictable chassis behaviour.
