Gun Metal Front Shock Tower for TA01/TA02

This machined aluminium front shock tower is an aftermarket replacement for Tamiya TA01 and TA02 chassis. Finished in gun metal, it provides a more rigid anchor for the front suspension compared to the original plastic tower.

Fitment follows the stock mounting points on the TA01/TA02 and uses the existing fixings. During installation, check that shock eyelets, steering linkages, and full travel clearance are all correctly aligned to avoid binding.

As a tuning aid, an aluminium tower cuts top-end flex at the shock mount, helping to stabilise front-end response so spring and damper changes show more predictably on-track or during bench setup.

Aluminium offers greater resistance to flex and impact in many scenarios, but severe crashes can still deform metal. Inspect mounting holes and edges for wear after heavy use.
Often yes. A stiffer top mount can alter damper feedback, so retune damping and spring rates to regain desired balance and response.
The aluminium tower will weigh more than the plastic original, but the change is small relative to overall vehicle mass and usually acceptable for the handling benefits it brings.
