Precision Rear Sinkage Dish Rim AR0017R for Associated RC18T by GPM  [AR0017R]

Rear sinkage dish rim for precise wheel setup

The AR0017R is an aftermarket alloy rear sinkage dish rim designed for compatibility with the Associated RC18T platform and supplied as a matched pair for RC-scale use. It is intended for builders replacing worn plastic rims or for those wanting a firmer seating surface to improve repeatability in 1/18 short-course and touring truck setups.

Focused on mechanical performance, this rim provides a rigid mounting surface for the tyre bead to help maintain tyre profile under cornering loads and to allow precise offset and track adjustments when used with suitable wheel hexes and shims. The emphasis is on fitment accuracy and stable wheel seating rather than visual modification.

Installation follows standard procedure: remove the wheel assembly from the hub, transfer tyre and any insert if required, fit the alloy rim onto the wheel hex and check runout and clearance before final torque. Perform a brief test run and then reverify hex engagement and wheel nut torque to ensure secure seating and consistent performance.
