Competition-grade rear tower for TA05

This graphite rear shock tower is a direct-fit replacement engineered for TAMIYA TA05, TA05-IFS and TA05-R rear bulkheads. It secures shock tops and modifies rear compliance for setup tuning without affecting drivetrain geometry.

The higher modulus of graphite compared with common plastics reduces local deflection at the shock mounts while keeping unsprung mass low, changing roll centre response and transient behaviour. Expect to retune spring rates and damper valving to fine-tune traction and rotation.

Mounting utilises factory TA05 screw locations for straightforward installation. Use calibrated hex drivers and controlled torque to protect mounting surfaces and ensure repeatable clamp loads.

Use this component as part of a setup toolkit: increasing rear stiffness can sharpen response and reduce uncontrolled deflection, but requires complementary changes to damping and anti-roll balance for predictable handling on race layouts.

Common adjustments include firmer compression, altered rebound tuning and small anti-roll bar tweaks to restore neutral balance after the stiffer mount.
The graphite tower reduces mass at the rear topdeck compared with many plastics, improving responsiveness; quantify gains within your own setup.
On high-grip surfaces start with slightly firmer damping and work down; on low-grip surfaces keep a bit more compliance to preserve traction.
