Technical Performance
The Losi Shock Tower Set is engineered as a precision-machined component designed to maintain the exacting tolerances required for optimal suspension performance on Losi 22S platform vehicles. As a structural chassis component, the shock tower must support significant vertical and lateral loads whilst maintaining perfect alignment with your suspension arms and shock absorbers. Losi's design and manufacturing process ensures this component exhibits the rigidity and dimensional accuracy necessary for consistent handling characteristics across different track surfaces and driving conditions. The shock tower assembly interfaces directly with your suspension system, affecting how your shocks respond to terrain changes, how your camber angles remain consistent during cornering, and ultimately how predictable and confidence-inspiring your RC car feels to drive. Whether you're running a modest brushless setup on a recreational basis or pushing a high-power configuration in competitive racing, having genuine, correctly-fitted shock towers is fundamental to extracting the best performance and longevity from your Losi 22S.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a shock tower on an RC car and why do I need it? — A shock tower is the structural mounting point that holds your shock absorber in place on your chassis. It's a critical component because it directly supports your suspension system and affects how well your vehicle handles, corners and absorbs impacts from rough terrain. If your shock towers become bent, cracked or worn, your suspension geometry changes, leading to poor handling and potential damage to other components.
- How do I know if my shock towers need replacing? — You should consider replacing your shock towers if you notice bent or cracked towers visible on your chassis, if your vehicle's handling has changed unexpectedly, if your shocks don't sit at the correct angle, or if you've had a significant impact or crash that may have damaged the mounting points.
- Will this shock tower set fit my Losi 22S model? — Yes, this is a genuine Losi spare part specifically designed for the 22S range. As long as you own a Losi 22S platform vehicle, this shock tower set will fit perfectly without modification. Always verify your model designation before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Is this part difficult to install on my RC car? — Shock tower installation requires basic RC model knowledge and tools, but is generally considered a straightforward maintenance task. You'll need to remove your existing shock towers (which may involve removing shocks and suspension arms) and install the new towers in their place. If you're unfamiliar with RC vehicle assembly, consider consulting your vehicle's instruction manual or seeking advice from experienced RC enthusiasts at your local hobby shop.
- What tools will I need to fit this shock tower set? — Standard RC model tools including hex keys (Allen keys), screwdrivers and possibly a small vice or clamp to hold your chassis during installation are typically required. Specific tool requirements depend on your model's design, so check your Losi 22S instruction manual for exact specifications.
