RC Model Shop stocks this component for customers seeking premium spare parts and tuning upgrades. Whether you're restoring a damaged rear end, upgrading from stock plastic components, or building a custom RC buggy setup, this aluminium shock tower represents a genuine performance improvement. The hard-anodised black finish not only looks professional but also provides added durability and corrosion resistance during outdoor RC racing.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — This aerospace-grade aluminium alloy is chosen specifically for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for high-performance RC buggies where every gram matters and durability is non-negotiable.
• CNC-Machined Precision — Each shock tower is computer numerically controlled during manufacturing to ensure exact dimensional accuracy, guaranteeing perfect fitment to your RC buggy chassis and eliminating alignment issues that could compromise handling.
• Hard-Anodised Black Finish — The hard-anodising process creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability against moisture, dirt and the wear associated with outdoor RC racing and bashing.
• 5mm Thickness — The precise 5mm gauge provides optimal balance between structural rigidity required for reliable suspension geometry and lightweight design that maintains your buggy's performance characteristics and acceleration.
• Single-Piece Design — This rear shock tower comes as one complete unit, simplifying installation and ensuring consistent structural integrity compared to multi-piece designs that could develop play or misalignment over time.
• Genuine Team Corally Part — As an official manufacturer spare part, this component is engineered to exact specifications and tested to work perfectly with compatible RC buggy platforms, providing peace of mind that you're installing a quality component.
• Wide Compatibility Range — Designed to fit multiple Corally buggy models including the Radix 4, Radix 6 (both 2021 and 2022 versions), Python (2020, 2021, and 2022 versions), making this a versatile upgrade or replacement option.

Technical Performance

The Corally Shock Tower represents serious engineering excellence in RC buggy chassis components. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, this material is the same aerospace-grade alloy trusted in the aviation industry for its exceptional combination of strength, corrosion resistance and lightweight properties. The CNC-machining process ensures every dimension is precisely controlled, which is essential when building a competitive RC buggy where suspension geometry directly impacts handling, cornering speed and overall performance. The hard-anodised finish adds a protective layer that resists corrosion from moisture and salt, critical considerations for RC enthusiasts racing at coastal venues or in wet weather conditions common throughout the UK. At 5mm thickness, this shock tower provides the rigidity needed to maintain proper suspension alignment during aggressive cornering and high-speed runs, whilst the single-piece construction eliminates potential failure points that could develop in weaker multi-part designs. This is a genuine spare part engineered to work seamlessly with Corally's Radix and Python buggy lines, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance across multiple model years and variants.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC buggy models does this shock tower fit? — This genuine Corally rear shock tower is compatible with the Radix 4, Radix 6 (2021 version), Radix 6 (2022 version), Python (2020), Python (2021), and Python (2022). Always verify your specific model before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.
• Why should I upgrade to an aluminium shock tower? — Aluminium shock towers offer significant advantages over plastic components used in stock RC buggies. The 6061-T6 aluminium is far more rigid, resisting deflection during aggressive cornering that can cause handling inconsistency. Hard-anodised aluminium also resists corrosion far better than plastic, ensuring your investment lasts through many racing seasons. For competitive RC enthusiasts, this upgrade contributes to more predictable suspension geometry and improved overall handling precision.
• Is this a genuine Corally part? — Yes, this is an official Team Corally component, manufactured to exact specifications with CNC precision. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment and compatibility with your RC buggy, avoiding the fitment issues that sometimes occur with aftermarket alternatives.
• What is hard-anodising and why does it matter? — Hard-anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a thick, protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This layer is significantly harder and more durable than standard anodising, providing superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion and UV damage. For RC enthusiasts who race in wet conditions or coastal areas, this protective finish extends component lifespan considerably.
• Can I use this on other RC cars? — This is specifically engineered for Corally buggy models listed in the compatibility section. Using it on incompatible platforms could result in poor fitment and handling problems. Always check your specific model compatibility before purchase.
• Do I need any special tools to install this shock tower? — Installation requires only basic RC tools including hex drivers or Allen keys, standard equipment in any RC enthusiast's toolkit. Refer to your buggy's instruction manual for specific installation procedures.
