Rear Upper Mount and Shock Tower for RO2.0 - Yokomo RO-018RDG  [RO-018RDG]

High-strength graphite tower for RO2.0 demands

The Yokomo RO-018RDG serves as a rear shock tower and rear upper mount tailored to RC RO2.0 designs where load paths are critical. High-strength, graphite-containing resin is used on the load-bearing areas between the shock mounts and the upper arm mount to increase stiffness where forces travel through the chassis.

In practical terms the RO-018RDG helps limit rear-end flex at the shock attachment area, which can aid traction during acceleration and sudden weight transfer. The part is made for hobby use with RO2.0 platforms and matching ROR-020 configurations.

Fitting the unit is a familiar process for anyone who has replaced a shock tower: remove the original tower, move over shocks and any hardware, and secure the RO-018RDG using the existing mounting points. No special fittings are required, though inspect thread condition and torque during reassembly.

Because the tower is stiffer, small-input suspension behavior and roll-center characteristics will shift; plan to tweak shock valving, spring rates, or anti-roll settings after installation to dial in the balance you want.
