TAMIYA TRF 416 Rear Graphite Shock Tower by 3Racing 416-16/WO  [416-16/WO]

Rear graphite shock tower for TRF 416

This graphite rear shock tower is an RC-scale hop-up designed for the TAMIYA TRF 416 chassis and supplied by 3Racing as part number 416-16/WO. It replaces the standard rear tower to provide a stiffer mounting point for the rear shock absorbers and upper suspension linkages while keeping the model-level focus on chassis tuning and suspension response.

Installation follows the stock mounting locations on the TRF 416 rear bulkhead; the part mounts where the original rear shock tower fits, using the same screw points and stacking with existing components on the chassis. No additional tools or hardware are included beyond what the original car uses, so keep the factory fasteners and any spacers on hand during replacement.

For setup and tuning the tower acts as a neutral upgrade to alter rear-end stiffness and feedback. Modelers can expect reduced flex at the shock mounts compared with more compliant stamped or molded towers, which helps when adjusting damping, spring rates, or anti-roll characteristics at the rear without changing the core geometry of the TRF 416 chassis.
