Associated RC 18T Low-Profile Graphite Chassis GAR050AMC by GPM  [GAR050AMC]

RC18T graphite chassis summary

This aftermarket full chassis assembly is intended for the Associated RC 18T layout and provides a direct-replacement graphite main plate with matched alloy mounts, a strap battery plate, mounting screws and Delrin posts. The kit is designed around 1/18 scale RC18T models to raise torsional stiffness and tidy internal packaging for competitive track setups.

The graphite plate maintains a slim profile and pairs with the supplied alloy motor and suspension mounts to reduce unwanted flex and help preserve alignment where racers tune for sharper turn-in. The strap-style battery plate fits common pouch or hard-case packs used in RC18T builds and secures the battery with a mechanical strap to speed up pit-side battery changes.

Fitment is straightforward for those experienced with RC18T assemblies: replace the stock main plate, install the alloy mounts using the included screws, and secure your battery using the strap plate and Delrin posts. Routine checks should include thread engagement on alloy pieces, optional threadlocker on metal fasteners, and a motor alignment check prior to running. The set targets hobbyists refining balance, ride feel and chassis longevity on carpet or short outdoor circuits running Associated RC 18T cars.

A direct-replacement chassis option that gives RC18T owners a stiffer graphite foundation and durable alloy mount points to fine-tune handling and component layout for more predictable behaviour on race surfaces.
