Associated 18T Replacement Titanium Hinge Pins - TAR101 by GPM  [TAR101]

Titanium hinge pins tailored for 18T

The TAR101 set is intended for Associated RC 18T chassis and ships as four pairs to cover common pivot positions. These titanium pins are a direct replacement for stock items, chosen for their balance of strength and resistance to corrosion in small-scale off-road environments. The copy highlights compatibility, installation basics and the role pins play in suspension behaviour.

Fit and function: Made to suit Associated RC 18T mounting points, the pins serve as pivot shafts for either front or rear hubs depending on your vehicle. They are typically replaced during maintenance and used during finer setup work where consistent pivot alignment improves handling.

Installation notes: Remove any retaining e-clips, clean pivot bores and withdraw the old pins, inspecting the hub bores for wear before fitting the replacements. Refit retainers and confirm full suspension travel without binding. Only use thread-lock where specified for adjacent fasteners; the pins themselves do not require adhesives.

Setup and maintenance tips

• Check hub bores for ovaling or wear before fitting to avoid early play.
• Use a light oil or grease on mating surfaces after install to limit corrosion and friction.
• After replacing pins, verify toe and camber as small seating differences can change alignment.
