Tamiya GB-01 Aluminum Rear Shock Tower by 3Racing GB-11/LB  [GB-11/LB]

Aluminum rear shock tower for GB-01

This is an RC-scale aluminum rear shock tower made for the Tamiya GB-01 chassis and supplied as 3Racing part GB-11/LB. It serves as a direct hop-up replacement for the rear shock mounting plate, providing a metal mounting point intended for hobby use on the GB-01 rear suspension assembly.

As a rear shock tower, its primary role is to secure the upper ends of the rear shocks and preserve intended shock geometry under load. Compared with the original plastic piece, an aluminum tower resists wear at the mounting holes and keeps attachment points stable during extended running or heavier suspension setup changes.

Installation notes: the tower is designed to match the GB-01 rear mounting layout so it installs in the same location on the chassis. When fitting, verify alignment of shock upper mounts and chassis screw holes, and tighten hardware to maintain correct shock angle and travel. Regular inspection of fasteners and mounting surfaces is recommended as part of routine model maintenance.

For tuning, switching to an aluminum rear shock tower is useful when you need consistent shock positioning after repeated runs or when experimenting with different shock lengths and mounting positions. It acts as a stable platform that keeps rear shock geometry predictable, which helps when comparing damping and spring changes.
