Graphite Rear Tower for SO3.0 Tuning

The Yokomo SO-018 Graphite Rear Shock Tower is crafted to tighten rear feel on the SO3.0 chassis. Using high quality graphite allows precise tuning of stiffness and reduces flex in high load corners.

Material Advantages Explained

Graphite combines strength with low mass, making it a good choice for racers who want to reduce chassis flex and improve turn stability without adding weight.

Fitment Details

Specifically made for the Yokomo SO3.0 chassis, the SO-018 lines up with standard mount points for a quick fit. Adjusting shock mount positions will help you find the best balance for your track conditions.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo 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.

Can I run the SO-018 on carpet or asphalt tracks?

Yes, the stiffer rear mounting performs well on both surfaces but you will want to tweak damping and spring rates to suit each track type.

Is special hardware required?

Standard mounting screws and spacers used on SO3.0 installations are typically appropriate; keep hardware torqued correctly to avoid stress on the graphite.

Will this affect chassis balance?

A stiffer rear tower shifts the balance toward crisper turn-in; balancing front stiffness, shock tune and anti-roll settings will help retain neutral handling.

How do I check for wear?

Regularly inspect mounting holes and edges for chipping, and ensure screws are not over tightened to maintain part life.

Does this replace the original rear tower?

Yes, the SO-018 is intended as a direct upgrade for the original rear tower on the SO3.0 chassis provided the mounting pattern matches.
