Precision-machined shock towers for DT-04 tuning

This front and rear shock tower set is intended for the TAMIYA DT-04 RC FIGHTER NXGEN platform and is catalogued as DT402830FR. Each piece is CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminium to maintain tight hole tolerances and uniform edge finish, improving repeatability for suspension setups.

Design includes multiple shock mount positions to permit controlled changes to shock angle and leverage ratio without altering lower suspension hardware. The additional positions enable incremental tuning of damping response and roll characteristics during testing and race prep.

Fitting replaces the OEM plastic towers; reuse compatible original fasteners or select appropriate-length metal screws. Confirm mechanical fit with TAMIYA 1/10 DT-04 RC FIGHTER NXGEN-58741 and verify alignment of shock shafts and lower mounts before final torquing.

Packing includes

  • Front Shock Tower - 1pcs
  • Rear Shock Tower - 1pcs

The DT402830FR towers offer a high-strength aluminium upgrade that stabilises mounting geometry and provides repeatable, adjustable top-mount locations for precision suspension tuning.

What tolerances are expected from the CNC process?

CNC machining ensures consistent hole positions and perpendicularity within typical hobby-grade CNC tolerances, supporting repeatable setup positions across multiple builds.

How do different mount holes affect leverage?

Higher top-mount locations reduce effective leverage, generally increasing initial stiffness, while lower mounts increase leverage and soften initial response; tune incrementally and log results.

Recommended hardware and torque practice?

Use bolts of correct length with washers where needed and apply medium-strength threadlocker on metal fasteners; tighten progressively and check alignment to avoid shear loads on the tower holes.

Does aluminium change the car's failure mode?

Aluminium towers increase structure stiffness; in severe impacts stresses may transfer to connected components, so inspect mounts and fasteners after hard impacts.

How should I document setup changes using these towers?

Record top-mount hole used, shock length and spring rate for each test run. Small, single-variable changes give the most useful feedback when tuning handling with these towers.
