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

Aluminium rear tower for GB-01

This aluminium rear shock tower is intended for use with the Tamiya GB-01 chassis and carries the GB-11/LB designation. It replaces the factory plastic rear shock plate and provides a metal mounting point for the rear suspension.

Its main job is to hold the upper shock mounts and maintain designed shock geometry under load. Against the original plastic item, an aluminium tower offers greater resistance to bore wear and keeps mounting points secure during extended running or when experimenting with different suspension setups.

Fitment guidance: the tower is shaped to the GB-01 rear mount layout so it fits in the same position on the chassis. When fitting, check that the shock upper mounts and chassis screw holes are aligned, and tighten fixings to keep the correct shock angle and travel. Regular inspection of screws and bearing surfaces is advised during routine care.

For tuning purposes, fitting an aluminium rear shock tower helps preserve consistent shock positions after repeated runs or when trying alternate shock lengths and mounting choices. It delivers a stable reference so damping and spring changes can be compared more reliably.
