Practical aluminium rear tower for Tamiya models

This blue-anodised aluminium rear shock tower is an aftermarket replacement dimensioned for Tamiya Thunder Dragon and Thunder Shot platforms. Machined aluminium construction provides greater stiffness at the shock mount points compared with stock plastics, aiding repeatable shock alignment during setup and play.

Installation notes: the tower uses the vehicle's existing rear shock mounting pattern and standard chassis attachment points, making it a straightforward replacement in most builds. Confirm hole pitch and clearances, then secure with the original or equivalent fasteners to recommended torque settings.

Tuning role: a stiffer rear tower will affect roll stiffness and transient response; incorporate the tower when experimenting with spring rates, damping or anti-roll adjustments to achieve predictable rear behaviour.

How do I confirm this fits my chassis?

Measure your rear tower hole spacing and compare to the replacement part; the JR-TSD02-LB is produced to match the common Thunder Dragon and Thunder Shot layouts.

Any recommended fastener practice?

Use compatible hardware, apply appropriate thread locker where needed and avoid over-torquing aluminium threads to prevent deformation.

Will this change suspension feel?

Yes, expect reduced compliance at the rear mounting points. Reassess spring and damper settings after fitting to dial in handling for your usual surfaces.
