Technical overview for RC18T rear slick tyre

This 1/18 scale rear tyre is intended for Team Associated RC18T applications and is identified as model AR888R40G. The component employs a slick tread profile with a 40 degree edge specification and a rubber compound combined with an internal foam insert to preserve tyre geometry under load for repeatable lap to lap behaviour.

Installation follows standard practice for compatible RC18T rear rims: locate and insert the foam core before seating the tyre onto the wheel, then verify bead engagement and concentricity. No specialised tooling is specified in the source, so use conventional hobby mounting and truing techniques and confirm fit before track use.

From a setup perspective this tyre is supplied as a tuning option to alter rear grip and mid corner balance on 1/18 Team Associated RC18T chassis; insert density and profile shape are variables that influence traction and handling. Supplied as 1 pr.

What wheel dimensions are recommended for proper fit?

Use rims specified for Team Associated RC18T rear fitment and check that rim width and bead seat profile match the tyre to ensure correct concentricity and engagement.

Can insert firmness be adjusted for tuning?

The product ships with a standard foam insert. Swapping inserts of different densities can be used as a tuning method to change deformation characteristics and rear traction.

Any recommended mounting checks before track use?

After mounting, perform a visual and spin check for bead seating and runout. Apply tyre adhesive where needed and confirm the tyre remains concentric at race speeds.
