Racing-grade front shock tower for MICRO-T Desert Truck

This CNC-friendly aluminium front shock tower is a performance replacement for Team Losi MICRO-T Desert Truck installations. The design provides a solid mounting datum for the front shocks and improves structural stiffness compared with polymer towers, reducing variable deflection under load.

Fitting requires matching the OEM mounting footprint; remove the factory part, check alignment across all mounting points and reuse or replace hardware with correct length fasteners. Confirm servo and linkage clearances to prevent mechanical interference throughout steering travel.

From a setup perspective the tower stiffens the front mounting area, which reduces flex-induced changes to damping characteristics. That stability helps shock valving and spring choices produce repeatable responses during desert-style running. Use stepwise changes to shock length, preload and mount position to quantify handling effects while logging adjustments for reproducible race setups.

What mounting checks should I perform before fitting?

Verify that the MI-23/LB hole centres align with the chassis bosses, check perpendicularity of the mounting face and confirm there are no obstructions from servo or link geometries.

How does increased mount stiffness affect tuning?

Greater stiffness reduces chassis compliance at the shock eyes, narrowing the variable the shock must control. Expect more consistent damping readings and tweak valving or spring rates in small increments to retune handling.

Recommended hardware practice?

Use correct length screws with thread engagement into the chassis bosses, apply medium thread locker if required and recheck torque after initial running to prevent loosening under race conditions.
