Team Associated RC18T Graphite Front Shock Tower with Body Post by 3Racing RC18-005B  [RC18-005B]

Graphite front shock tower for RC18T SSG

This RC-scale front shock tower is a direct-replacement style hop-up aimed at Team Associated RC18T SSG owners who need a stiffer mounting point for the front suspension. Made from graphite, the component combines low weight with increased flex control compared with standard plastic towers, and includes an integrated body post for secure shell mounting during race setups and practice sessions.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with RC short course trucks: remove the factory front tower, transfer any existing hardware and posts to the graphite unit, and secure using the original screw points. No additional tools beyond your usual hex drivers are required, and the part is intended to use the stock mounting geometry so no chassis modifications should be necessary.

From a tuning perspective, this tower provides a firmer shock mount that affects both roll center behavior and the initial feedback of the front suspension. Use it when you want crisper steering response or when running stiffer spring/damper combinations; expect to fine-tune shock positions and sway bar settings to find the best balance for track conditions.
