This aluminium front shock tower mount is supplied as a direct replacement for the stock front tower on Kyosho FW05-R models, providing a firmer anchor point intended to reduce compliance at the shock mounting interface and influence suspension response.
Installation uses the FW05-R chassis mounting points and existing hardware; ensure precise hole alignment and controlled torque to maintain correct preload and prevent thread damage. Proper fitment is important to keep geometry consistent during setup work.
From a setup and tuning perspective, the stiffer metal mount alters the shock anchor stiffness and can change steering feedback, roll initiation and damping feel. Use this component when you need a consistent shock base for repeatable adjustments and quicker comparative testing of shock valving and sway settings.
