Tamiya TA05/TA05-IFS/TA05-R Rear Graphite Shock Tower by 3Racing TA05-03/SG  [TA05-03/SG]

Rear Graphite Shock Tower

This rear shock tower is a graphite replacement part for Tamiya TA05, TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis, offered by 3Racing as TA05-03/SG. As an RC-scale accessory the piece focuses on altering rear suspension pick-up points and increasing local chassis stiffness where the shocks mount.

Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: the graphite tower replaces the factory rear shock tower using the existing mounting hardware on the TA05 family. Tightening should be done evenly to avoid cracking the graphite, and thread-lock is recommended only on steel-to-steel fastenings where specified by your chassis manual.

In setup terms this part is primarily a tuning component. Changing to a graphite tower shifts how loads are transferred between the shock mounts and the rear bulkhead, which can affect rotation, traction roll and the responsiveness of the suspension. Use it alongside shock position changes and anti-roll bar tuning to dial rear grip and balance.

Maintenance notes: inspect mounting holes for stress cracks after heavy runs, and avoid over-tightening fasteners. This is intended for RC model use only and not for any full-size vehicle application.
