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

Aluminum rear shock tower for GB-01

This machined aluminum rear shock tower fits the Tamiya GB-01 chassis as a direct hop-up replacement and carries the GB-11/LB part designation. It provides a metal mounting surface for the rear shocks, intended for hobby use on the GB-01 rear suspension assembly.

The tower secures the upper shock ends and helps maintain correct shock geometry under load. Compared to the stock plastic plate, an aluminum tower reduces wear at the shock eyelets and keeps attachment points stable through longer running sessions and heavier suspension setups.

Installation notes: the tower is made to match the GB-01 rear mounting pattern and installs in the same location on the chassis. During fitting, check alignment of the shock upper mounts and chassis screw holes, and torque hardware to preserve intended shock angle and travel. Regular checks of fasteners and contact surfaces are recommended as part of routine maintenance.

For tuning, swapping in an aluminum rear shock tower gives a consistent reference point for shock positioning after repeated runs or when testing different shock lengths and mount options. It creates a stable platform that makes comparing damping and spring changes more consistent.
