Racing-Grade Graphite Front Shock Tower

The Team Associated RC18T Graphite Front Shock Tower by 3Racing, model number RC18-005A, is produced with racing setup in mind to deliver consistent front-end stiffness and precise body post positioning. This unit helps drivers refine handling by stabilising the upper shock mount area so suspension tuning changes are more repeatable.

Material and Setup Advantages

Graphite offers a tuned stiffness profile that reduces compliance at critical mounting points, preserving shock geometry under lateral loads. The result is crisper steering feedback and less variance between runs, which is useful when testing valving and spring rates.

Precision Fit for Quick Installation

Manufactured to align with Team Associated RC18T factory points, the RC18-005A installs using standard fasteners and keeps the original mounting geometry intact. That minimises setup variables and lets competitors focus on dampers and roll bar adjustments.

Body Post Accuracy for Aerodynamic Consistency

Fixed body post locations on this tower support repeatable shell positioning, reducing aerodynamic variance that can affect lap-to-lap performance. The stable mounting helps maintain balance across qualifying and main events.

Increased front stiffness may allow slightly softer damping to regain transients, but adjustments depend on track grip and driver preference.
The RC18-005A preserves the stock mounting geometry, so mechanical ackerman and roll centre remain unchanged; its effect is primarily structural.
Check fastener torque and inspect post holes for wear after hard events. Confirm body post fitment to keep aerodynamics consistent.
