Product brief — rear tower

This aluminium rear shock tower suits 1/10 Tamiya Thunder Shot and Thunder Dragon buggies and carries the designation JR-TSD02-BK. It is intended as a direct hop-up to replace the OEM plastic rear tower and provide a more rigid shock mounting surface.

Fit and installation: the unit uses the stock chassis mounting points and shock eyelet positions. During fitment check that all holes line up and use the original screws where they fit to maintain factory geometry. Minor shock or link adjustments may be needed after fitting to recover baseline ride height and camber.

Tuning considerations: swapping to an aluminium tower reduces mounting flex, which can change how the rear responds over bumps and transitions. Use this upgrade while experimenting with springs, shock oil, and link geometry to assess the handling differences; additional setup changes may be required to fine tune balance.

Aluminium offers improved stiffness and better resistance to long-term deformation compared with the original plastic, though it transfers more force to surrounding components so check mounting hardware regularly.
Possibly. Small changes to shock length or preload may be required to return the buggy to its previous ride height and camber; measure before and after fitting to determine the correct adjustment.
