7075-T6 Shock Tower for DT-04 Tuning

This CNC machined 7075-T6 alloy shock tower is supplied as an aftermarket replacement for DT-04 scale vehicles. Multiple mounting holes permit relocating shock positions and altering shock angle without changing shock bodies, delivering repeatable attachment points for 1/10 DT-04 suspension tuning.

Installation is aimed at the competent hobbyist: remove the original tower, transfer necessary spacers or fasteners, and secure the alloy tower using the existing mounting points and suitable hex screws. Check thread engagement and apply measured torque to avoid damaging aluminium threads, and ensure shock shafts clear during full suspension movement.

Tuning guidance: changing the selected tower hole changes leverage and effective shock angle, which impacts rebound and compression behaviour. Conduct small, measured adjustments, log each configuration, and compare handling before pursuing further suspension changes.

Which mounting positions change damping behaviour most?

Positions that move the shock closer to or further from the pivot alter leverage significantly; inner holes typically increase leverage and soften response, while outer holes reduce leverage for firmer behaviour.

Are thread inserts recommended for aluminium?

Thread inserts can extend service life if you expect frequent removals, but correct torque and careful thread engagement are usually sufficient for routine hobby use.

Does this require damper length changes?

Minor tower position changes typically work with existing dampers, but verify piston travel and spring preload; if motion limits are reached consider shaft length or spacer adjustments.
