Associated RC18T Alloy Standard Sinkage Surface Rims (6 Poles) by GPM AR0603  [AR0603]

Alloy sinkage surface rims

These alloy rims are an RC-scale replacement part designed for the Associated RC18T platform. The item is a single pair intended to replace standard plastic or worn metal rims, preserving wheel offset and hub fit while offering the alloy stiffness associated with metal rims. The six-pole pattern is a geometric detail of the rim design that affects how the wheel mounts and how weight is distributed across the hub.

Installation is straightforward for hobby-grade models: remove the existing wheel assemblies, align the rim to the wheel hex and hub interface, then secure using the original mounting method on the RC18T chassis. After installation, verify rotational clearance and fastener snugness, then check wheel balance on the model to reduce vibration at speed. These rims are intended for scale racing and tuning tasks, where riders adjust wheel stiffness and mass distribution to influence handling.

As an alloy replacement rim set for the RC18T, this part is intended to provide a durable option for wheel upgrades and tuning, helping to refine handling through changes in rim stiffness and mass distribution.
