Rear shock tower technical notes

This replacement rear shock tower is specified for the TAMIYA M05 chassis and referenced as M05-06/LB. It functions as the upper rear mounting datum for shocks, intended to give consistent positioning for controlled setup changes.

The component uses the M&S mounting pattern to reproduce the intended shock top locations for the M05 rear geometry. It is suitable for methodical testing of shock leverage ratios without modifying the chassis bulkhead geometry.

Operationally the tower establishes a fixed top mount that influences roll centre and damping leverage. Accurate measurement of shock eye-to-eye length and spring free length is recommended when integrating this tower into a tuning program.

Installation guidance: verify hole centres on your M05 rear bulkhead and confirm fastener lengths. Reassess damper rod travel, spring preload and rate after fitting to document the handling delta introduced by the new mount.

How should I verify fitment before finalising install?

Measure the rear bulkhead hole centres against the tower, check shock post alignment and trial-fit with hand-threaded screws to confirm clearance before final torque.

What setup parameters change when using this tower?

Primary parameters affected are shock angle, effective damping leverage and roll centre. Record spring rate, shock length and ride height to quantify handling changes and iterate settings.

Recommended checks after high stress runs?

Inspect mounting screws for loosening, check for any deformation at the shock posts, and verify that shock travel remains within expected limits after heavy sessions.
