Team Associated RC18T Front Shock Tower Graphite Upgrade RC18-005B by 3Racing  [RC18-005B]

Graphite shock tower for sharper RC18T handling

This front shock tower is a drop-in style upgrade for Team Associated RC18T SSG owners seeking a stiffer front mount. Fabricated from graphite, it reduces weight and changes flex behaviour relative to stock plastic, while the integrated body post keeps the shell secure during practice and race sessions.

Fitting is simple for anyone familiar with short course truck maintenance: remove the stock tower, move over any posts and screws, and secure the graphite tower using the factory fastener points. Only standard hex drivers are needed and the mounting pattern is unchanged, so no chassis cutting or modification is expected.

In terms of tuning, the stiffer mount alters roll response and the initial feel of the front suspension. Use this tower to sharpen steering or when running firmer springs and dampers; be prepared to experiment with shock hole locations and anti-roll bar settings to find the right handling balance.
