TA05 Front SSG Graphite Shock Tower TA05-02/SG by 3Racing  [TA05-02/SG]

Technical Overview of the Front SSG Tower

The TA05-02/SG graphite front SSG shock tower is designed for the TAMIYA TA05 chassis and provides a firmer, more consistent mounting platform for front shock absorbers. It replaces the standard front shock plate to offer improved repeatability in shock positioning and mounting stiffness.

Functionally this component is a suspension mounting and tuning element. Altering the tower changes mounting stiffness and shock leverage, which affects chassis response and steering feedback; use it as a tuning tool to refine handling characteristics rather than expecting standalone speed gains. Maintain original fasteners where feasible and confirm precise alignment before final torqueing to avoid preload or misalignment issues.

Installation procedure: remove the OEM front shock tower and transfer necessary spacers or lower mounts. After fitting, verify shock angles, travel and droop, then conduct methodical track tests to evaluate handling. Incremental adjustments to shock positions or tower height are recommended because small changes can significantly affect front-end grip and overall vehicle balance.
