Mainplate and Mounts Description

This economy single-piece alloy main chassis is produced for the Associated RC18T platform and supplied as a 1pc repair set. The kit pairs the alloy mainplate with matched alloy mounts, steel fasteners and E-clips, plus Delrin posts to swap into worn mounting locations.

Use case: the set is focused on corrective repairs and establishing a reliable starting point for setup. Installing the alloy components restores mounting geometry and baseline rigidity needed for predictable suspension and drivetrain tuning.

Fitting advice: preserve original reference marks and adhere to the RC18T torque specs when installing alloy parts. Check screw lengths against the existing build and confirm E-clip seating on shafts. Delrin posts offer lower friction and good wear resistance where plastic posts have failed.

Does AR016 include everything to replace the old chassis?

The package provides the alloy main chassis, alloy mounts, screws, E-clips and Delrin posts required for a basic replacement of the main chassis assembly.

Can I mount my existing electronics to this chassis?

Yes, electronics mounting points remain the same for the RC18T layout; confirm battery and servo positions during reassembly to maintain balance and cable routing.

Are Delrin posts better than metal here?

Delrin posts reduce friction and resist wear in pivot interfaces; they are often preferred where smooth movement and longevity are needed instead of metal-on-metal contact.

Should I change setup after fitting alloy parts?

Yes, increased chassis rigidity can change handling balance, so re-evaluate suspension and drivetrain settings to retune the car to your driving style.
