Precision aluminium front shock tower for LaTrax SST

This aluminium front shock tower is an aftermarket replacement specified for TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST platforms. It is designed as a direct-fit alternative to the factory plastic tower, providing a stiffer mounting reference for the front suspension without modifying OEM mounting points.

Compatibility is scoped to the LaTrax SST 1/18 chassis family; confirm your exact chassis code before purchase. The tower accepts the same shock layout and mounting hardware used on the stock unit, so installation follows the original screw pattern and positions.

From a setup perspective, the aluminium tower reduces flex at the shock mounts and supplies a stable datum for tuning spring rates, damping and ride height. It does not change drivetrain, motor or electronic systems and is intended for hobby RC use only.

How precise is the fit compared with the OEM tower?

SST028 is produced to match the stock mounting hole pattern and shock layout, delivering a close-fit replacement that aligns with OEM screw locations for straightforward installation.

Will the aluminium tower require different setup values?

A firmer mounting platform typically reduces chassis-induced feedback, allowing spring and damper settings to perform more predictably; minor tuning adjustments may be needed to compensate for the decreased flex.

Are any modifications required for installation?

No modifications should be necessary on compatible LaTrax SST 1/18 chassis. Use the original mounting hardware and confirm fastener lengths if aftermarket shock components alter stack height.
