Technical rear shock tower for TA08 PRO

This carbon fibre rear shock tower is an aftermarket replacement specifically for the TAMIYA TA08 PRO platform, positioned at the top of the rear gearbox adjacent to the shock assemblies. It replaces the stock tower to provide a firmer, lighter upper mount that improves consistency in shock geometry under load.

The component features multiple upper pivot holes to alter shock angle and leverage, enabling precise tuning of rear roll stiffness and compression characteristics. Use the different mounting positions to refine mid-corner behaviour or increase compliance for rough surfaces.

Installation follows the original mounting footprint at the gearbox top. During fitment verify screw length and thread engagement, secure fasteners to appropriate torque values, and confirm shock alignment and free travel after final assembly to ensure correct suspension kinematics.

Product was as described. Perfect fitment.

Is the tower compatible with stock TA08 PRO gearbox mounts?

Yes, the profile and hole pattern match the TA08 PRO rear gearbox mounting area; confirm screw engagement and clearance before torqueing fasteners.

How should I use the different upper mount positions for tuning?

Select inner pivot holes for increased roll stiffness and sharper turn-in, and outer holes for reduced leverage and a softer rear response. Record changes and adjust damper settings to balance the chassis.

Any assembly precautions for long term durability?

Ensure correct screw type and length, avoid over-torquing which can crush carbon, and periodically inspect mounting points for wear to maintain consistent geometry.
