Aluminium Shock Mount for Rear End

This machined aluminium rear shock tower fits the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST and acts as the dedicated mounting plate for the rear shocks. It replaces the OEM plastic tower to provide a more rigid anchor for suspension components.

By swapping to an aluminium tower the shocks keep a more consistent alignment through travel, which helps when you are dialing in spring rates or ride height for lap-to-lap consistency.

Installation notes: the part is made to the original rear shock mounting points for the LaTrax SST 1/18. It usually installs with the vehicle's existing bolts and requires removal of the rear bodywork for access. Verify alignment before final assembly.

Tuning notes: use this part as a stable base when testing different shock bodies or mounting positions; aluminium backing reduces unwanted movement at the mount so handling changes are easier to evaluate.

Can I reuse the factory screws when fitting this tower?

In most cases the original fasteners and mounting holes align with the replacement tower, so the factory screws can be reused. Check for tight fit and thread condition.

Will this change how the car handles on rough surfaces?

The aluminium tower reduces mount flex, which can make suspension response more consistent over rough sections. It does not directly change damping or spring rates.
