This aluminum rear shock tower is an RC-scale replacement part produced for compatibility with the TAMIYA TA-01, TA-02 and DF-01 chassis, supplied under the JR-TA105-DB designation. The component is presented in an anodized blue finish and is intended for rear shock mounting and setup work on those specific chassis platforms.
Its role is purely structural and tuning-oriented: it provides a rigid mounting plane for the rear shock assemblies and supports minor geometry adjustments during setup. Use this tower where a durable aluminum mounting point is preferred over the original plastic part to maintain consistent shock alignment during practice and race sessions.
Installation notes: fitment follows the existing TA-01/TA-02/DF-01 rear tower mounting holes and hardware patterns, so reuse the original screws and spacers unless your build calls for replacement fasteners. When replacing the stock tower, check shock shaft clearance and spring preload after installation to confirm suspension travel and ride height remain within your setup targets.
Tuning role: as a stable mounting platform, an aluminum tower can reduce flex at the rear end, which helps preserve shock angle and predictable damping behavior under load. Use it alongside standard suspension adjustments—spring rates, damping, and ride height—to refine handling on hard-packed or carpet surfaces.
