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

Graphite Rear Shock Tower for TA05 Series

This rear shock tower is a graphite replacement part for Tamiya TA05, TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis, listed as TA05-03/SG. It shifts rear shock pick-up points and increases local chassis stiffness around the shock mounts to sharpen rear response on the TA05 platform.

Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: the graphite tower replaces the factory rear shock tower using the existing mounting hardware on the TA05 family. Tighten fasteners evenly to reduce the chance of cracking the graphite, and apply thread-lock only where the chassis manual specifies steel-to-steel joints.

As a tuning component this tower alters load paths between the shock mounts and the rear bulkhead, which can influence rotation, traction roll and suspension feel. Combine it with different shock positions and anti-roll bar adjustments to find the rear balance you need.

Maintenance tips: inspect mounting holes for hairline stress cracks after heavy running and avoid over-tightening bolts. This part is intended for RC model use only and not for any full-size vehicle application.
