Precision Upgrade Summary

This precision-engineered, single-piece alloy main chassis is supplied as an economy 1pc kit for the Associated RC18T platform. The set pairs a CNC-friendly alloy main plate with matched alloy mounts, steel fasteners and E-clips, plus Delrin posts for wear-resistant pivot locations.

Application notes: the AR016 kit is targeted at corrective repairs and establishing a rigid baseline chassis for setup work. Upgrading to alloy main components restores critical alignment faces and increases torsional stiffness, which is beneficial when preparing the vehicle for measured suspension and drivetrain tuning.

Assembly guidance: preserve factory reference marks and use specified torque values from the RC18T manual. Confirm screw lengths and head types prior to final assembly, and ensure E-clips are properly seated on drive pins. Delrin posts are included to reduce friction and extend service life where metal-on-metal contact would accelerate wear.

AR016 provides a robust, precisely manufactured alloy solution for restoring chassis geometry and supporting accurate setup work on the Associated RC18T platform.

Verify mounting face flatness, arm pivot clearances and drive shaft alignment; small misalignments can affect measured toe and camber readings.
Delrin posts are designed for standard RC18T pivot interfaces and should function with common aftermarket pivots; confirm dimensions before mixing components.
Use medium strength threadlocker on steel-to-alloy fastenings where specified, and torque to the RC18T manual to prevent loosening without risking material stress.
Increased chassis stiffness reduces flex-related variability, which helps reproducible setup changes; expect more predictable responses when adjusting suspension or drivetrain parameters.
