RO2.0 Graphite Rear Shock Tower (Rear Upper Mount) - Yokomo RO-018RDG  [RO-018RDG]

RO2.0 rear shock tower with graphite reinforcement

The Yokomo RO-018RDG functions as a rear shock tower and upper mount for RO2.0 applications where suspension load is concentrated. The part's molding places a graphite-containing resin along the load paths between the shock mounts and the upper arm mount to add targeted stiffness.

Fitting this tower tends to reduce unwanted compliance at the rear shock attachment area, helping the rear keep traction during acceleration and weight transfer. It is intended for hobby use on RO2.0 platforms and related ROR-020 layouts.

Typical installation requires removing the stock rear tower, moving any existing hardware and shocks over, and bolting the RO-018RDG into the original mounting points. No extra hardware is normally needed; check thread engagement and torque to prevent stripping when reassembling.

After fitting, the increased rigidity will alter small-input suspension reaction and roll-center effects; adjust shock valving, spring rates, and anti-roll tuning to reach the balance you prefer.
