Precision machined front shock tower for JATO 4X4 VXL

This replacement front shock tower is a precision-machined upgrade for the TRAXXAS JATO 4X4 VXL platform. Manufactured from 7075-T6 aluminum, the component increases front chassis stiffness and gives a consistent mounting datum for suspension tuning while retaining the model's scale function. The tower replaces factory part 9033 and is supplied with the fasteners shown in the packing list.

Installation notes: where specified, the tower and its hardware arrive pre-assembled. Use a medium-strength threadlocker on mounting screws to reduce the chance of loosening during high-load use. The component is intended specifically to change suspension mount stiffness and geometry for tuning on prepared tracks and off-road courses.

Packing includes

  • Front Shock Tower - 1pcs
  • Grade 12.9 Black Round Head Screws 3x14 - 4pcs

The TJ028 front shock tower is a direct, engineered replacement to increase front chassis stiffness and provide a stable mounting platform for suspension tuning; fit with medium-strength threadlocker as specified.

What checks should be done before fitting the tower?

Verify your vehicle code against the compatible models box, confirm the factory part number being replaced is 9033, and inspect supplied fasteners for correct size and quantity before installation.

How does the 7075-T6 alloy affect suspension tuning?

7075-T6 increases stiffness at the mounting points, reducing unwanted flex and providing a more repeatable reference for adjusting camber, toe and shock positions during setup.

Are the supplied screws the required grade for secure mounting?

Yes. The kit includes Grade 12.9 black round head screws 3x14 as listed in the packing section; these are specified to ensure secure clamping of the tower to the chassis.

What threadlocker strength is appropriate for service and maintenance?

A medium-strength removable threadlocker is recommended to prevent loosening under load while allowing future removal for maintenance or further tuning adjustments.
