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

Rear hub carrier for RC18T/RC18R

This aluminum rear hub carrier is produced by 3Racing for Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis, designed as a direct-fit replacement part for the rear suspension hub on 1/18 scale models. The article focuses on compatibility, installation considerations, and how the component affects fine tuning of rear suspension geometry without claiming performance figures.

Compatibility is limited to Team Associated RC18T and RC18R models. Use this carrier to replace worn or damaged stock parts or to switch material properties in the rear suspension assembly. The machined aluminum construction provides consistent mounting surfaces and increased rigidity compared with typical molded parts.

Installation notes: remove the rear wheels and detach the rear hub assembly following your chassis service routine, transfer any hardware and bearings from the original hub 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 verify fastener torque and suspension alignment after installation.

Tuning role: this hub carrier affects rear wheel location and the stiffness of the hub mounting area, which can change toe and camber behaviour under load. Use it when experimenting with rear-end feel, toe-in settings, and when seeking repeatable alignment for setup changes on track.
