Associated RC 18T Titanium CVD Swing Shaft Upgrade TAR243C by GPM  [TAR243C]

Engineering purpose and install guidance

This titanium universal swing shaft is a precision RC driveline component intended for the Associated RC 18T platform. Supplied as a single pair (1pr) in a CVD-style configuration, the shafts provide a material upgrade focused on dimensional stability and long term wear resistance for hobby competition use.

The design replaces stock swing shafts where the CVD interface is used, improving the stiffness of the connection between gearbox output and wheel hub. That increased stiffness reduces axial and rotational play under repeated torque cycles and helps preserve drivetrain alignment in tuned setups.

Installation requires disassembly of the rear driveline and inspection of mating interfaces to ensure correct seating and clearance of the CVD-style ends. Verify orientation and free movement before final torqueing to avoid binding.

A technically focused aftermarket replacement for Associated RC 18T drivetrains where CNC-quality titanium components are chosen to improve durability and reduce drivetrain play.
