Stiffer Rear Shock Tower for Tamiya 54005 Nitrage 5.2

The Tamiya 54005 - Nitrage 5.2 Precision Aluminum Rear Shock Tower is manufactured from 5mm aluminium to increase rear-end rigidity and give more suspension mounting choices. Its design holds upper arms and shocks in position to reduce unwanted movement during aggressive running.

Tuning Options for Different Surfaces

With extra threaded holes, you can tune shock angles and arm mounts to suit loose, hardpack or mixed tracks. Small changes to mounting points can noticeably affect traction and roll behaviour without swapping major components.

Compatibility Advisory

This item suits the Tamiya Nitrage 5.2 chassis only and will not fit the TNX 5.2R. Double-check your model before ordering to prevent fitment issues.

Can I use this with aftermarket shocks?

Yes, aftermarket shocks that match the Nitrage 5.2 mounting pattern will work, and the extra holes can help set different shock angles for improved damping.

Does aluminium require special maintenance?

Aluminium is corrosion resistant but can scratch; periodic inspection of fasteners and cleaning after muddy runs keeps the tower performing and prevents wear on mounting holes.

Will this change ride height?

The tower itself does not alter ride height, but moving shock positions can affect leverage and thus the effective suspension height under load.

Is drilling required to add more holes?

The tower comes pre-drilled with extra options. Drilling new holes is not recommended unless you are confident in metal work and understand the effect on chassis strength.
