This graphite front shock tower replaces the standard part on the Tamiya M07 chassis and is listed as model M07-09. It is intended to give a firmer mounting point for the front shocks so suspension geometry stays more consistent during setup and on-track use.
Fitting is simple for anyone comfortable with M07 maintenance: the tower secures to the front bulkhead using the chassis original mount points and hardware. When installing, check that the shocks line up correctly and that screw lengths do not contact the shock shafts; any change to tower thickness or pickup location can affect ride height and steering feel, so re-check preload and droop once fitted.
As part of a tuning plan the graphite tower increases front-end rigidity, changing how loads travel into the suspension. It is particularly useful to reduce tower deflection under heavy braking or tight turns, and should be used with complementary spring, oil and anti-roll bar adjustments for best results.
