The JR-TA105-GU is an aluminium rear shock tower for 1/10 scale cars that use the Tamiya TA01 or TA02 rear mounting pattern. The gun metal coating gives corrosion resistance while keeping the rear bulkhead visually low-key.
As an aftermarket accessory, this tower is produced to align with the TA01 and TA02 rear holes so it replaces the factory plastic tower without chassis modification. The stronger material offers a firmer shock anchor and helps maintain alignment under demanding loads.
Fitting advice: remove rear body panels and the stock tower, reuse applicable fasteners, and position the new tower to preserve shock and linkage clearances. After fitting, inspect shock travel and wheel alignment before running to ensure the setup remains correct.
Tuning impact: an aluminium tower reduces flex at the rear mounting points and provides a consistent base for trying different shock positions and roll characteristics. It is intended to refine handling through incremental changes rather than to overhaul chassis dynamics.
