This machined aluminium rear shock tower is engineered to match the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST rear shock mounting layout and provide a rigid mounting surface for the rear dampers. It is supplied as an aftermarket replacement to improve the stability of the suspension attachment points.
The aluminium backing plate reduces movement at the shock mount locations compared with conventional plastic towers, helping the shocks retain consistent alignment through their travel. That stability supports more precise tuning and easier comparison of setup changes.
Installation notes: the part is produced to the original mounting positions for the LaTrax SST 1/18 chassis and normally fits with the vehicle's existing fasteners and mounting holes. Basic removal of rear bodywork is required to access the tower; verify alignment and torque settings before final use.
Tuning and performance: fit this tower when evaluating different shock bodies, spring rates, or mounting positions to ensure suspension inputs translate directly to handling changes. The reduced flex at the mount improves the repeatability of setup adjustments and on-track feedback.
