Tamiya GF01 Aluminium Front Shock Tower by GPM GF028  [GF028]

Front shock tower for GF-01

This aluminium front shock tower is an aftermarket hop-up produced for Tamiya GF-01 chassis by GPM, supplied under model GF028. It is an RC-scale replacement part intended to mount the front shocks and provide a more rigid mounting point compared with typical plastic towers.

The part's role is focused on suspension behaviour and chassis tuning: a stiffer tower reduces flex at the top shock mounts, which alters shock geometry under load and can make front-end response more consistent during cornering and on rough surfaces. This is useful when fine-tuning spring, damper and camber link settings on GF-01 based vehicles.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic GF-01 servicing: remove the original tower, transfer any required hardware and shock accessories, and secure this tower using the existing mounting points. Check alignment and shock travel after fitting and adjust preload or mount position if needed to achieve the desired handling balance.
