Graphite tower for precise front mounting

This front shock tower is a direct-fit spare for the Kyosho FW05RR platform and carries the part number FW05-RR005-GT/A. Machined graphite construction provides the front suspension mounting surfaces while keeping the stock FW05RR mounting pattern intact.

Fitting is simple for those used to 1/10 on-road work: strip the body and front dampers, remove the factory tower, then secure the graphite unit with the existing screws. No cutting or permanent chassis changes are normally required.

From a setup perspective, the stiffer graphite face reduces movement at the shock pick-up points compared with many plastics, helping keep toe and camber settings stable during runs. Use it when testing shock positions or dialling front bite on carpet and smooth asphalt circuits.

Light cleaning of mating faces is advisable; if reusing old screws, check threads and consider a drop of thread locker on final assembly.
Yes, the firmer mounting helps maintain geometry under repeated corner loads typical of indoor carpet, improving predictability.
The tower preserves the original shock positions, so roll centre adjustments rely on shock mounting holes and link geometry rather than the tower material itself.
