Precision alloy sinkage rims

These alloy rims are supplied as a matched pair for the Associated RC18T and are intended as a direct replacement for worn plastic or metal wheels. They are engineered for consistent wheel offset and accurate hub seating while providing increased rim stiffness that influences setup tuning. The six-pole geometry denotes the rim mounting pattern and how radial loads transfer into the hub interface.

Fitting is carried out using standard wheel removal and refit procedures: remove the original assemblies, align the rim to the wheel hex and hub, and secure with the original mounting hardware. After installation, confirm rotational clearance, torque on fasteners, and wheel balance to reduce vibration. These rims are aimed at hobbyists seeking reliable, repeatable changes to wheel stiffness and mass distribution for handling refinement.

Specifications

  • Item: Associated RC18T Alloy Standard Sinkage Surface Rims (6 Poles) -1pr
  • Material: Alloy
  • Model Number: AR0603
  • Compatibility: Associated RC18T

As a durable alloy upgrade for the RC18T, this rim set supports consistent tuning outcomes by changing stiffness and mass characteristics at the wheel assembly.

The primary benefit is increased rim stiffness compared with plastic, which can improve steering feedback and consistency under load.
No special procedure is required; the six-pole layout is a mounting geometry detail and the rims install using the same hub and hex interface as the stock parts.
Rebalance wheels, recheck tyre adhesion, and consider small tyre or shock adjustments to compensate for increased rotational mass.
