CNC aluminium rear shock tower for Latrax 1/18

This CNC machined aluminium rear shock tower is an aftermarket upgrade compatible with TRAXXAS 1/18 Latrax Rally models, supplied as 1 pc, model LTX030. It replaces the OEM rear tower to provide a higher stiffness mounting surface for the rear shocks, reducing deflection at the shock mounts and improving repeatability during suspension setup.

For RC use only. The component installs on the original rear tower points; retain factory screws where feasible and verify thread engagement before final torque. When installing aluminium items to composite mounts, tighten progressively to prevent stress concentration and recheck fastener torque after initial testing.

As a precision upgrade, this tower alters chassis load paths so tuning responses will change compared with the stock plastic tower. Use this part to achieve firmer shock alignment, consistent geometry under dynamic load, and a stable reference for damper and spring adjustments.

Mounting follows the original TRAXXAS Latrax Rally 1/18 rear tower holes for direct fit. No chassis drilling is required for standard setups.
Inspect and clean existing threads, hand-start bolts to avoid cross-threading, and torque in small increments while checking shock geometry. Use mild thread locker only on steel-to-steel fasteners if required.
Increased tower rigidity reduces mount flex, creating more consistent damper response and making the effects of spring and damping changes easier to predict during setup sessions.
