This graphite rear shock tower replaces the stock unit on TAMIYA TA05, TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis and is intended to mount rear shocks while influencing rear stiffness for handling adjustments.
Graphite increases structural rigidity compared with many plastics while adding little weight, which affects how the rear suspension loads under braking and cornering. Expect changes in traction and roll behaviour; update spring and damper settings accordingly.
Mounts align with the original TA05 rear bulkhead screw locations, so installation is a direct swap. Use standard hex tools and verify screw torque to avoid stressing the graphite material.
Consider this as a chassis tuning option: stiffening the rear tower can reduce unwanted flex but may shift handling balance toward oversteer or understeer depending on other setup choices, so rework damping and ride height after fitting.
