Yokomo RO-018RDG Graphite Rear Shock Tower / Rear Upper Mount for RO2.0  [RO-018RDG]

Graphite rear shock tower for RO2.0

The Yokomo RO-018RDG is a rear shock tower and rear upper mount designed for RC-scale RO2.0 applications where suspension load is concentrated. The part is molded using a high-strength, graphite-containing resin at the load paths between the shock mounts and the upper arm mount, providing increased stiffness where the suspension transmits force.

In practical setup terms the RO-018RDG influences suspension feel by reducing unwanted flex at the rear shock attachment area, which can help the rear end hold traction under acceleration and during weight transfer. The component is intended for hobby use on compatible RO2.0 platforms and related ROR-020 configurations.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with shock tower replacement: remove the stock rear tower, transfer any existing hardware and shocks, and bolt the RO-018RDG in place using the original mounting points. No additional hardware is required beyond the existing chassis fasteners, but check thread engagement and torque to avoid stripping on reassembly.

For tuning, note that a stiffer rear tower changes how the suspension responds to small inputs and impacts roll-center behavior through reduced compliance at the mount; adjustments to shock valving, spring rate, and anti-roll settings should be considered after fitting to achieve the desired balance.
