Tamiya GB-01 Rear Shock Tower Aluminium Performance Part - GB-11/LB by 3Racing  [GB-11/LB]

Aluminium rear shock tower for GB-01

This aluminium rear shock tower is designed to match the Tamiya GB-01 rear mounting pattern and is identified as GB-11/LB. It serves as a direct hop-up replacement for the stock rear shock plate, delivering a rigid mounting platform for rear dampers used in tuned setups.

The component secures the upper shock anchors and maintains targeted geometry under dynamic load. In contrast to the original plastic part, the aluminium tower offers improved resistance to wear at the eyelet locations and preserves attachment point alignment during repeated high-load cycles.

Installation notes: the tower aligns with the GB-01 chassis mounting points and installs without chassis modification. During assembly, verify that shock top mounts and chassis fastener holes are concentric, and torque hardware to specified tightness to retain correct shock angle and travel. Periodic inspection of fixings and seating faces is recommended to ensure long term consistency.

From a tuning perspective, using an aluminium rear tower provides a stable datum for shock positioning when testing different shock lengths, mounting holes, and valving setups. That repeatability reduces variables when evaluating damping and spring changes on the rear end.
