Shock tower upgrade for older Tamiya buggies

This item is the Tamiya 9005296 G Parts shock tower supplied for Fire Dragon and Saint Dragon models. It functions as the shock mounting fixture on the buggy chassis and is intended for scale model applications.

To install, remove the body shell and wheels as required, release the existing shock fixings, locate the G Parts tower onto the factory mounting points, and secure with the original screws. Ensure the tower is aligned to avoid limiting suspension movement.

As part of setup changes the tower influences shock angle and roll stiffness; experimenting with different mounting positions can help tune handling. Use original or equivalent hardware and recheck clearance when fitting long-travel setups.

How does changing the tower alter handling?

Different tower geometry shifts shock angles and can change roll center and stiffness, so expect measurable differences in cornering and chassis balance after swapping towers.

Which mounting positions are best for more grip?

Lower shock pivot points typically increase traction by reducing roll; trial different holes to find the balance you want for track or loose surfaces.

Any clearance issues with long-travel shocks?

Confirm that the shock and spring do not contact the tower or body at full compression, and check tyre and wheel clearance if you extend travel.
