Racing grade front tower

This front SSG graphite shock tower is supplied as a high-value upgrade for the Hot Bodies Cyclone Sport Version chassis. Machined profile and hole spacing adhere to the Cyclone Sport layout so teams can replace the factory tower while maintaining their current damper setup.

From a setup and tuning viewpoint the component locates the front dampers and changes the mount stiffness that governs roll centre behaviour under load. Compared with resin towers, graphite typically raises local rigidity, which refines steering response and changes small-bump absorption characteristics important to front-end grip and lap consistency.

Fitting uses conventional RC assembly steps: strip the original tower, align the replacement to the chassis mounting points, and tighten with the appropriate screws. Confirm hardware inclusion before assuming new fasteners are supplied and set torque to prevent thread creep during competitive running.

How does this affect camber sensitivity?

Increasing front mounting stiffness with a graphite tower can make camber changes more directly felt at the tyre contact patch, so expect sharper response to small camber adjustments.

Should dampers be revalved after fitting?

Revalving is often recommended for competition settings because the altered mount stiffness changes dynamic load. Start with small adjustments to damping before making large setup changes.

What fastener torque is suggested?

Use a modest torque consistent with aluminium or composite mounts and your chassis hardware; avoid over-tightening and consider threadlocker for endurance events.
