Chassis Note

This graphite rear shock tower is made for the Tamiya FF-03 chassis and is identified as model FF03-16/WO. The unit replaces the factory rear shock mounting point to increase structural rigidity and provide a steadier mounting base for rear suspension components during setup and track running.

Graphite construction limits flex compared with standard plastic towers, helping maintain repeatable suspension geometry when adjusting shock mounting positions, spring rates, or ride height. The part is intended as a hop-up for electric touring and racing FF-03 cars rather than a full rear assembly.

Fitting involves removing the rear body mounts and original shock tower, then securing this tower to the chassis with the existing mounting points and hardware; verify hole alignment prior to final tightening. Once installed, the tower gives a stable reference for changing shock angles and mounting points to influence rear traction and transient response.

Yes, it is a direct replacement for the stock rear shock tower and uses the chassis mounting locations; ensure correct alignment when fitting.
Improvements come from more consistent suspension behaviour rather than direct speed gains; better repeatability can help drivers fine tune setups for quicker laps.
Inspect the tower and mounting screws after heavy impacts and recheck alignment; graphite is stiff but not indestructible, so replace if damaged.
