The JR-TA106-RD is an anodized aluminum front shock tower made for compatibility with Tamiya TA01 and TA02 1/10 touring platforms. Supplied in red, it replaces the OEM plastic tower to provide a stronger mounting location for front shocks and steering link attachments.
Fitting the JR-TA106-RD is carried out like other tower swaps: remove the stock part, transfer spacers or inserts, align the new tower with the suspension and steering points, and secure with the original fasteners. Confirm that shocks and tie rods move freely through their range before final tightening.
Functionally the aluminum tower helps maintain shock geometry under load, which can enhance repeatable handling and reduce flex-related setup drift. Use it alongside matched shock components to optimise front-end feel for different track conditions.
