This graphite front shock tower plate is provided as a direct replacement for the Team Losi Mini-T SSG tower configuration where a graphite-mounted tower is specified. The component establishes upper shock mounting points and the reference geometry used during suspension setup.
Fitting procedure for cars with the Mini-T SSG pattern involves removing the stock tower plate and installing this graphite unit, reusing existing fasteners when compatible. Verify precise hole alignment and shock spacing before final torqueing to prevent preload or binding that would affect suspension kinematics.
From a setup standpoint graphite typically increases torsional stiffness relative to many molded plastics, changing how forces flow into the bulkhead and suspension arms. Use the tower's selectable mounting positions to refine shock angle and leverage, and perform iterative changes while recording ride-height and camber to quantify handling effects.
