Stiff Rear Tower for Improved Control

The XRAY 343082 Rear Graphite Shock Tower is made for vintage RX series models and uses 2.5mm graphite to combine toughness with minimal mass. It helps reduce unwanted flex and supports more predictable rear traction for competitive running.

Refined Shock Mount Positions

Engineered with revised hole locations, this tower accepts a range of updated shock absorbers and tweaks suspension geometry to enhance on-throttle steering. The refinements help keep the rear planted during acceleration.

Simple Swap-In Upgrade

Built to align with older RX series chassis, the XRAY 343082 installs easily thanks to accurate CNC work. Check fastener torque and clearance after fitting to ensure secure attachment without overstressing the graphite.
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.

Does this change require shock revalving?

You may want to revalve shocks to match the altered geometry and rear stiffness; small valving adjustments can restore balance quickly.

Can I combine this with rear carbon bracing?

Yes, carbon braces can work well with this graphite tower but check chassis harmony so you do not over stiffen the rear end.

What fasteners are recommended?

Use quality screws of the correct length and consider medium strength thread locker; avoid overtightening to prevent stress around the mounting holes.

How should I inspect it after a crash?

Check all mounting holes and the graphite surface for hairline cracks and replace the tower if any structural damage is visible.

Will it affect rear toe settings?

The tower itself does not change toe, but the adjusted shock geometry can influence handling characteristics that make toe adjustments useful during setup.
