Product summary and intended use

This graphite upper brace is an RC-scale component intended for use with compatible 1/12 racing chassis to accept rear friction-type shocks. It provides a secure, pre-drilled mounting location so the rear shock assembly can be retained in a fixed position while you tune suspension characteristics.

Replacing the standard upper brace with this item alters rear suspension load distribution and can influence roll and pitch behavior when cornering. Installation is straightforward but requires removal of rear shock tower parts and standard hand tools; hole choice on the brace sets the shock stroke and leverage. No electrical components are supplied.

Prior to fitting, confirm the part matches your chassis tower layout and remove any machining burs or debris that could impair fit or the friction surface.

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.

How robust is the graphite for repeated use?

Graphite offers a good strength-to-weight ratio for scale parts; however, inspect the brace periodically for surface wear and ensure the friction area remains clean to prevent accelerated abrasion.

Which common tools are needed for fitting?

Only basic hand tools are required: screwdrivers or hex drivers that match your mounting fasteners, plus a clean workspace to remove and refit rear tower components.

Is it interchangeable between different 1/12 models?

Interchangeability depends on shock tower geometry and hole spacing. Always compare the listed compatible models to your chassis and test-fit before final installation.
