Race-Level Rear Tower for TA05 Platforms

The 3Racing TA05-03/WO rear graphite shock tower is engineered for drivers who demand consistent rear end behaviour from Tamiya TA05, TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis. Using graphite lets the component deliver targeted rigidity while keeping weight low, allowing finer control over roll characteristics and shock response during high load conditions.

Material and Tuning Considerations

Graphite's stiffness profile reduces unwanted flex and helps maintain the chosen geometry under cornering loads. Tuners should expect slight changes in roll centre feel and may want to adjust rear shock damping or spring rates to optimise balance and tyre contact patch behaviour.

Installation and Setup Notes for Competitive Use

The tower fits standard TA05 mounting points and accepts common shock and linkage positions used in race setups. Fitment is straightforward, but for track optimisation check ride height, droop and shock valving after installation to integrate the tower into a full competition setup.

What tuning changes are typical after fitting the graphite tower?

Expect a firmer rear feel; start with small reductions in rear damping or softer rear springs to rebalance understeer and regain desired rotation.

Is graphite compatible with aluminium upgrades?

Yes, the tower works alongside aluminium uprights and braces. When mixing materials, validate clearances and re-check setup as stiffness characteristics interact.

Any race preparation advice before an event?

Inspect mounting holes and hardware torque, verify shock positions and perform a test run to fine tune damping and ride height for the circuit.
