This is an RC-scale aluminum rear shock tower designed for the TAMIYA DT-03 chassis, offered by JAZRIDER under part number JR-DT303-BK. It serves as a direct replacement or upgrade for the stock plastic tower to provide a firmer mounting point for rear shocks and to simplify setup changes focused on rear suspension geometry.
Compatibility and role: The tower is intended specifically for DT-03 layouts and locates on the factory rear bulkhead, matching the DT-03 shock mounting pattern. As a structural hop-up, its primary role is to give consistent shock pick-up positions and to support tuning work such as altering shock angles, roll center, and anti-squat characteristics without altering other suspension components.
Installation notes: Fitment follows the DT-03 rear mounting points; reuse the chassis’ existing mounting hardware and shock screws where applicable. Installation typically involves removing the stock tower, positioning the aluminum tower on the chassis, and securing it to the factory screw locations. Check alignment and shock lengths after installation before running the model.
Tuning guidance: Use this tower when you need repeatable, stiffer shock mounts for iterative setup work. Because it is metal, it reduces flex at the shock pivots compared with the stock plastic part, making it useful when testing spring rates or damper settings where consistent mounting angles help isolate variables.
