Lightweight aluminium upgrade for the DT-03 front end

The JAZRIDER aluminium front shock tower reinforces the Tamiya DT-03 front assembly to limit flex and preserve suspension geometry under load. Its metal construction offers a firmer pivot point for the front shocks, helping to maintain steadier lines through corners.

Advantages of a metal tower

Compared with stock plastic, an aluminium tower resists bending and keeps mounting angles more consistent when you encounter bumps or landings. That consistency supports repeatable handling and improves driver confidence during faster laps.

Installation notes

This tower is engineered to mate to the DT-03 without modification, using the same fixings and layout as the original part. A basic toolkit is sufficient to perform the upgrade quickly and reliably.

Will this fit other models from the same maker?

The part is specifically matched to the DT-03. Other kits are unlikely to fit without custom work or alternative brackets.

Is the finish durable in wet conditions?

The finish holds up to normal use but rinse off salt and grit after wet runs and dry the component to prevent surface corrosion over time.

Do I need to change shock settings after fitting?

You may want to revisit spring and damping settings as the stiffer mount can alter front-end behaviour. Small adjustments often restore balance.

Can I repaint the tower safely?

Yes. Use a metal-appropriate primer and paint, and ensure fastener holes remain clear to maintain proper fitment.

What routine checks should I perform?

Inspect mounting screws, check for any hairline cracks in adjacent plastic parts, and confirm shock eyelets remain secure after hard runs.
