Technical notes on the graphite front tower

The FW05-RR005-GT/A is a purpose-made graphite front shock tower for the Kyosho FW05RR platform. Manufactured to preserve the original FW05RR mounting pattern, the graphite plate provides a stable mounting plane for front suspension components without altering factory screw points.

Installation follows standard on-road service procedures: remove the body and front shock absorbers, unbolt the OEM tower, and install the graphite unit using the factory fasteners. No permanent modifications to the chassis are required for correct fitment.

From an engineering perspective, the increased local stiffness at the shock pick-ups reduces deflection, aiding repeatable camber and toe behaviour under dynamic loads. The tower is recommended for drivers seeking consistent setup changes and clearer feedback when experimenting with shock positions and roll centre adjustments on sealed surfaces.

What measurement checks are recommended after fitting?

Verify shock eyelet alignment, screw engagement depth and that the tower sits flush to the bulkhead faces. Confirm there is no interference with steering linkages.

How does the graphite surface affect tuning repeatability?

The reduced local compliance offers a more consistent reference for camber and toe adjustments, which helps reproduce handling settings lap after lap.

Any advice for race setups using this tower?

Use the tower when chasing consistent front-end geometry; pair with controlled shock valving and measured camber/toe changes to isolate suspension behaviour.
