Extended rear tower for more precise GT tuning

The XRAY 353044 GT Carbon Rear Shock Tower - Extended is a rear suspension upgrade intended to increase adjustability while leaving the underlying chassis geometry unchanged. Constructed from carbon fiber, the extended tower introduces additional upper shock mounts and refined camber link points to help control rear-end behavior across diverse grip and surface conditions.

From a setup perspective, the extra upper shock positions permit greater leverage for improved traction on low-adhesion circuits, whereas lower mount choices favour reduced roll and a flatter cornering stance at higher speeds. The adjusted camber link geometry enhances rear stability and provides more predictable responses when changing traction levels, assisting drivers in achieving consistent handling across sessions.

Two rear wing mounting options are integrated into the tower to enable straightforward aerodynamic tuning of rear stability and downforce distribution. The part is offered as a replacement for GT-style hobby chassis that share the same mounting pattern.

Specifications

  • Item: GT Carbon Rear Shock Tower - Extended
  • Material: Carbon fiber
  • Model Number: 353044

Fit this extended carbon tower when you require additional upper shock options and refined camber link geometry to tune rear traction and stability without altering baseline handling characteristics.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

What handling changes come from the extended geometry?

The extended geometry supplies more upper mounts and shifted link points, allowing setups that emphasise traction or a flatter, more stable attitude depending on chosen positions.

Are there compatibility checks I should do before buying?

Yes. Confirm the tower's mounting hole spacing and camber link clearance against your existing parts; compatibility relies on matching those physical dimensions.

Does the carbon build affect shock tuning choices?

A stiff carbon tower stabilises shock and link angles, which can change how weight transfer feels and may require small damping or spring adjustments to achieve the desired balance.

Will I need to alter wing setup with the dual mounts?

Using the alternative wing positions changes rear downforce and yaw characteristics; experiment with both to find the best compromise between corner stability and straight-line speed.

How should I secure the tower to avoid damage?

Use the correct screw lengths and torque, apply thread-lock where appropriate, and avoid overtightening which could stress the carbon around the fastener holes.

What signs indicate the tower needs replacement?

Replace the tower if you notice cracking, delamination, or persistent misalignment of mounting holes after impacts; those issues compromise geometry and reliability.
