This front shock tower is a CNC-grade 6061 T6 aluminium upgrade intended for TRX-4 scale trail crawlers, providing accurate shock top-mount indexing and a rigid attachment point that reduces flex under load. The machined surfaces and hole patterns are configured to allow repeatable shock angle adjustments while maintaining consistent damper alignment.
Multiple indexed mounting positions enable tuning of shock leverage and effective ride height, so technicians can alter articulation and damping behaviour without changing shock assemblies. The tower secures the shock top to minimise lateral movement during steering and suspension travel.
Supplied hardware mirrors the original source and is included to attach the tower to the front bulkhead: front shock tower 2pcs, stainless steel round head screw 3x16 2pcs, stainless steel flat head screw 3x10 4pcs, stainless steel round head screw 3x18 2pcs, and 3x6x2 alloy collar 4pcs. Follow recommended torque values and verify component clearances during test assembly.
Compatibility statement: the part is listed for TRAXXAS TRX-4 DEFENDER 82056-4 and TACTICAL UNIT 82066-4. When fitting to other TRX-4 variants inspect skids and adjacent mountings for necessary clearance adjustments before final installation.
Use this precision machined aluminium front tower to standardise shock geometry experiments and improve consistency across climbs, focusing adjustments on linkage and damping rather than shock replacement.
