Technical Performance
The shock tower is a fundamental structural component in the Losi LST and LST 3XL-E platforms, which are built on proven 2WD short course truck chassis with suspension systems designed around race-inspired geometry. These vehicles utilise lower A-arm and upper link suspension configurations with oil-filled coil-over shocks that require precise mounting points and correct suspension geometry to function properly. The pin mounts on this shock tower assembly ensure that shock absorbers and suspension arms can be securely fastened with the exact alignment specifications that Losi engineers have determined delivers optimal handling characteristics. The LST and LST 3XL-E platforms feature molded composite chassis construction combined with aluminium chassis plates for rigidity and performance, and the shock towers play a key role in maintaining the structural integrity of the suspension system. Whether your vehicle is equipped with the standard 550 brushed motor and 60A ESC found in the 22S SCT RTR, or upgraded with performance parts available through Losi's extensive parts catalogue, the shock tower geometry remains critical to translating motor power into predictable, controllable handling. Oil-filled shocks require properly engineered mounting towers to function effectively, and this component has been designed with that requirement in mind, incorporating the precise angles and positions necessary for the suspension to work harmoniously with the rest of the chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles is this shock tower compatible with? — This shock tower is designed specifically for Losi LST and LST 3XL-E models. If you own either of these RC trucks, this genuine OEM replacement part will fit and function correctly without modification. Always verify your vehicle model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Why would I need a replacement shock tower? — Shock towers can become damaged through impacts, crashes, or wear over time. The pin mounts can crack, the mounting points can strip, or the assembly can become bent from hard landings or collisions. When this happens, suspension geometry becomes compromised and handling suffers. A replacement shock tower restores your vehicle to original specifications and handling characteristics.
- Is this part suitable for both front and rear suspension? — Yes, this assembly is designed to work on both the front and rear of compatible Losi vehicles, making it a versatile component for your spare parts collection. This means a single purchase can provide coverage for either end of your chassis.
- What tools do I need to install this shock tower? — Installation typically requires basic hand tools including hex keys (Allen keys) and screwdrivers. The assembly includes the necessary pins and fasteners, and detailed installation instructions should be consulted before beginning work. If you're not familiar with RC suspension assembly, seeking advice from experienced RC enthusiasts or your local RC retailer is recommended.
- Is this an official Losi part or a clone? — This is an official genuine Losi OEM replacement part, not an aftermarket copy. This ensures perfect compatibility, correct material quality, and that the suspension geometry will be exactly as Losi engineers designed it for optimal performance.
- Will this upgrade my vehicle's performance? — This is a replacement component designed to restore your vehicle to original specifications rather than upgrade performance. However, maintaining correct suspension geometry through using genuine replacement parts ensures your vehicle performs as intended. If you're looking for performance upgrades, Losi offers optional performance parts separately through their extensive aftermarket catalogue.
