Technical overview of the 3RACING FW05-RR005-GT/A graphite front tower

The 3RACING FW05RR Front SSG Graphite Shock Tower is engineered to provide a rigid, low-mass front shock mounting solution for the Kyosho FW05RR platform. The graphite top plate reduces compliance at the shock mounts to keep suspension kinematics consistent under dynamic loads.

Material and tuning advantages

Graphite offers high specific stiffness, allowing fine tuning of roll behaviour without adding weight. This aids in maintaining predictable camber and toe characteristics through cornering, which is beneficial when dialling in damping and anti-roll settings.

Fitment, setup notes and best practice

Manufactured to match Kyosho FW05RR mounting geometry, the tower installs with standard fixings. For optimal results, recheck shock mounting heights and verify clearances after installation. Consider small adjustments to front damping to compensate for the increased structural stiffness.

How does the FW05-RR005-GT/A affect suspension kinematics?

By reducing flex at the shock mounts, the tower helps preserve intended shock angles and leverage ratios under load, which stabilises camber and roll response during aggressive cornering.

Any recommended setup changes after fitting?

Expect to reassess front damping and possibly soften rebound slightly to maintain compliance. Small sway or spring adjustments can compensate for reduced chassis flex when seeking mid-corner balance.

What checks should be done after installation?

Verify screw torque, confirm shock eyelet alignment, and perform a short test run to log handling changes before finalising setup for race conditions.
