Technical Front Shock Tower Upgrade for Tamiya Chassis

The JAZRIDER JR-TFD06-GU is an aluminium front shock tower engineered to replace the factory plastic component on Tamiya Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher models. Its design focuses on consistent mounting geometry and increased resistance to deformation under load.

Material and Functional Benefits

Manufactured from solid aluminium with a gun metal finish, this tower reduces flex at the shock mounting points and helps preserve suspension alignment during aggressive driving. The stiffer platform can contribute to crisper steering feedback and improved repeatability.

Fitment Notes and Installation

The part is produced to match OEM hole patterns for a direct swap. During installation verify fastener torque and check shock eyelet alignment. Retain or replace hardware as required to maintain correct suspension geometry.

What are the main advantages of aluminium over plastic here?

Aluminium offers better resistance to cracking and bending under repeated stress, preserving shock mounting positions and reducing the need for frequent replacement after heavy use.

Any special installation tips for best performance?

Ensure all mounting points are free from debris and that screws are torqued evenly. Confirm shock angles and toe settings after fitting to account for the altered front end stiffness.

Is this suitable for daily hobby use?

Yes. The JAZRIDER JR-TFD06-GU is intended as a practical, durable upgrade for regular RC use, offering reliable performance for weekend bashing and routine track sessions.
