This aluminium rear shock tower is made to suit the Tamiya GB-01 chassis and corresponds to part GB-11/LB. It acts as a hop-up replacement for the rear shock mounting plate, offering a metal top mount for the GB-01 rear suspension.
Its role is to anchor the upper ends of the rear shocks and keep the intended geometry stable under load. Against the stock plastic component, aluminium resists hole wear and maintains attachment point stability during prolonged running or when you change to heavier suspension settings.
Fitment notes: the tower matches the GB-01 rear mount pattern so it installs in the same bay on the chassis. When installing, ensure shock upper mounts and chassis screw holes line up, and secure hardware to keep the correct shock angle and travel. Periodic inspection of bolts and mounting faces is advised.
For setup work, choosing an aluminium rear tower helps deliver repeatable shock positioning after multiple runs or while testing various shock lengths and mounting options. It provides a consistent reference for comparing spring and damping adjustments.
