Technical overview of the graphite front shock tower

This graphite front shock tower is an aftermarket upgrade for TRAXXAS 1/18 Latrax Rally models, listed under GLTX028. It is designed as a direct replacement for the OEM front shock tower to provide a stiffer mounting interface than typical molded materials, improving repeatability when performing suspension tuning.

Installation notes: the tower aligns with the Latrax 1/18 front assembly layout shown in the product title. Verify screw positions and clearance prior to final tightening, and use suitable hex fasteners with thread locker on metal-to-metal joints. The part is supplied as 1 pcs.

Tuning application: deploy this graphite tower when a more rigid shock mount is required to reduce cap movement and deliver more consistent feedback during spring rate and rebound testing, aiding setup precision for scale rally applications.

A stiffer mount reduces deflection at the shock cap, which keeps shock geometry more constant under load and improves the fidelity of tuning changes.
Confirm hole alignment, screw lengths and clearance to surrounding components. Tighten incrementally and inspect for binding through the full range of suspension travel.
The item is supplied as the single graphite tower; retain or upgrade your mounting hardware as required to ensure secure installation.
