This aluminum rear hub carrier is an RC-scale replacement part intended for Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis. It provides a direct-fit option to replace worn plastic carriers and serve as a durable mounting point for the rear suspension links and wheel hub assembly.
Compatibility is limited to the RC18T and RC18R models as stated, so confirm your chassis code before purchase. The carrier accepts the existing wheel hub hardware and wheel bearings transferred from the original part, keeping the stock suspension geometry unless you change link positions or use other aftermarket components.
Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with basic RC teardown. Typical steps include removing the rear hub carrier from the chassis, transferring bearings and hub components, aligning the carrier, and securing it with the original screws. No special tools are required beyond common hex drivers used for RC assembly.
In setup and tuning, an aluminum hub carrier is used to influence chassis feel by offering a stiffer mounting point compared with some softer materials. It can help maintain consistent alignment under load, which is useful when tuning rear-end handling or when upgrading other rear suspension components.
