This item is a graphite rear shock tower designed for Tamiya TA05, TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis, identified as TA05-03/SG. It alters rear shock pickup points and adds stiffness around the mount area to influence rear-end behaviour.
Fitting is intended for hobbyists familiar with TA05 service: the graphite tower replaces the original rear shock tower and uses the chassis' existing mounting hardware. Fasteners should be tightened evenly to prevent graphite stress, and thread-lock is recommended only on metal to metal connections as specified by your chassis documentation.
As a tuning accessory this part changes how loads are passed between the shocks and the rear bulkhead, which may affect rotation, traction roll and suspension responsiveness. Pair with shock position changes and anti-roll bar tuning to refine handling and balance.
Inspection advice: examine mounting holes for stress marks after heavy use and avoid overtightening screws. This component is for scale RC use only and not intended for full size vehicle use.
