Associated RC 18T Titanium universal swing shaft by GPM TAR243C  [TAR243C]

Purpose and tuning role

This titanium universal swing shaft is an RC-scale driveline component made for the Associated RC 18T platform. Supplied as a single pair (1pr) in a CVD-style layout, the part replaces the standard swing shafts to offer material-level changes to the drivetrain where titanium is preferred for wear resistance and repeatability.

In practical setups the shaft is used where the stock CVD interface is present; it serves a tuning role by providing a stiffer, low-wear connection between gearbox outputs and wheel hubs, which can help reduce play and keep alignment under repeated stress. It is intended for hobby use on the specified chassis only and not for full-size vehicles.

Installation requires removal of the rear driveline components and inspection of mating interfaces to confirm fit; installers should verify clearance and orientation for the CVD-style ends before final assembly.

This component is a straightforward aftermarket replacement for Associated RC 18T drivetrains where a titanium CVD-style swing shaft pair is desired for durability and reduced drivetrain play.
