Upgrade front tower for GF-01

This aluminium front shock tower is an aftermarket replacement for the Tamiya GF-01 chassis, supplied under model GF028. It replaces the softer plastic tower to present a firmer anchor for front shocks and reduce unwanted movement at the top mounts.

The primary benefit is improved suspension control: a stiffer top mount reduces flex and stabilises the shock geometry during dynamic loads, which can deliver a more predictable front end on uneven tracks and during tight turns. It is useful when tuning spring rates, damper settings and link geometry on GF-01 builds.

Fitting is simple for anyone used to GF-01 servicing: remove the OEM tower, transfer necessary screws and shock components, and fasten this tower to the existing mounting points. Re-check shock travel and wheel alignment after installation and make small adjustments to preload or mounting location to dial in handling.

Yes, the firmer top mounts reduce flex and help the shocks maintain their intended geometry, which sharpens steering response in most setups.
No special tools are needed beyond basic hex drivers and screwdrivers used for normal GF-01 maintenance. Ensure bolts are tightened to a suitable snug fit.
Not necessarily, but you may find slight spring or damper adjustments improve balance since the tower reduces top-mount compliance.
