Overview
The Corally Shock Tower 4mm Aluminium Front is a precision-engineered suspension component designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand durability and performance from their vehicles. This high-quality spare part is manufactured using advanced CNC machining techniques and constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium, making it an essential upgrade or replacement component for your Team Corally RC car. Whether you're a dedicated racer, a weekend basher, or someone who takes their RC hobby seriously, this shock tower delivers the structural integrity and precision fit that separates quality builds from mediocre ones.
This front shock tower is specifically engineered to fit a comprehensive range of Team Corally models, making it a versatile upgrade option for owners of popular vehicles like the Jambo, Dementor, Shogun, Kronos, Punisher and Muraco models across multiple generations. The hard anodised finish provides superior corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring your investment remains protected against the elements and intensive use. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to maintain, repair or upgrade their Team Corally vehicles, this component represents excellent value and reliability from a trusted manufacturer.
This is not a pre-built ready-to-run RC car, but rather a premium spare part and tuning upgrade designed for those who already own a compatible Team Corally vehicle or are building a custom setup. If you're serious about maintaining your RC car UK collection at the highest standards, or if you need to replace a damaged shock tower, this CNC-machined aluminium component is the professional choice.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, this material offers an excellent balance of light weight and structural rigidity, ensuring your suspension geometry remains precise even under the demanding stresses of high-speed cornering, jumps and technical terrain.
- CNC-Machined Precision — Every component is precision-engineered using computer numerical control machining, which guarantees exact tolerances and perfect fitment with your existing chassis components without any grinding, filing or adjustment needed.
- Hard Anodised Finish — The professional hard anodising process creates a protective black oxide layer that resists corrosion, oxidation and weather damage, keeping your shock tower looking factory-fresh and performing reliably whether you're racing in damp UK conditions or enjoying sunny weekend bashing sessions.
- Black Colour — The sleek black finish provides an aggressive, professional appearance that complements most Team Corally vehicle paint schemes whilst maintaining visibility for easy identification during multi-vehicle runs.
- Front Position Specific Design — This is engineered specifically as a front shock tower, meaning the geometry, mounting points and suspension characteristics are optimised for the critical front-end handling and weight transfer characteristics of Team Corally vehicles.
- Single Component Pack — You receive one complete shock tower, allowing you to repair a damaged component or upgrade one side of your suspension with this high-quality alternative to OEM parts.
- Wide Vehicle Compatibility — This component fits Team Corally Jambo (2021 and 2022 models), Dementor (2020, 2021 and 2022 models), Shogun (2020 and 2021 models), Kronos (2020, 2021 and 2022 models), Punisher (2021) and Muraco (2021 and 2022 models), providing excellent parts commonality across the Corally range.
Technical Performance
The Corally Shock Tower 4mm Aluminium Front delivers the engineering excellence you'd expect from a professional RC component. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium — the same material used in aerospace and high-performance industries — this shock tower provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that doesn't compromise on durability. The 4mm thickness specification provides optimal structural support for the shock absorber and upper suspension arm mounting points, critical areas that experience significant vertical and lateral forces during acceleration, braking and cornering. CNC machining ensures dimensional accuracy to within tight tolerances, meaning perfect alignment with your chassis geometry and suspension components. The hard anodised finish isn't just cosmetic; it's a functional treatment that increases surface hardness and provides superior wear resistance compared to bare aluminium, extending the service life of the component significantly. The black colour maintains consistent visual appearance across multiple uses and weather conditions. This is a genuine OEM-quality component that maintains the precision handling characteristics and predictable suspension response that Team Corally vehicles are renowned for in the competitive RC community. Whether you're replacing a worn or damaged original shock tower or upgrading to this premium alternative, you're investing in components that will enhance your vehicle's handling precision and reliability during both casual bashing sessions and competitive racing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Team Corally vehicles does this shock tower fit? — This front shock tower is compatible with the Team Corally Jambo (2021 and 2022), Dementor (2020, 2021 and 2022), Shogun (2020 and 2021), Kronos (2020, 2021 and 2022), Punisher (2021) and Muraco (2021 and 2022). Check your vehicle's model code to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- What makes 6061-T6 aluminium better than plastic shock towers? — 6061-T6 aluminium offers superior rigidity and consistency compared to plastic components, which means your suspension geometry remains stable under load and doesn't flex or degrade over time. This results in more predictable handling and better long-term durability, particularly valuable for competitive racing or intensive bashing.
- Why is hard anodising important on an RC component? — Hard anodising increases the surface hardness of aluminium significantly, creating a protective barrier against corrosion, salt spray and oxidation. This is particularly valuable for UK users who may encounter damp conditions or salt-laden air near coastal regions. The treatment extends component lifespan and maintains appearance through multiple seasons of use.
- Do I need to modify this shock tower to fit my Corally? — No. CNC machining ensures this component is manufactured to exact specifications matching your vehicle's design. It should fit perfectly without any modification, drilling, grinding or adjustment, assuming you have a compatible Corally model listed in the specifications.
- Is this a genuine Corally part or an aftermarket copy? — This is a genuine Team Corally OEM spare part manufactured to original equipment specifications. The part number C-00180-168 and barcode 8718057187460 confirm authenticity. Always purchase from authorised retailers to guarantee genuine products.
- Can I use this on other RC car brands? — This shock tower is engineered specifically for Team Corally vehicles with their unique suspension geometry and mounting points. It is not compatible with other RC brands without modification and would not fit correctly.
- What's the difference between the front and rear shock towers? — Front and rear shock towers are designed with different geometry to accommodate the suspension characteristics of each end of the vehicle. The front tower is optimised for weight transfer and steering response, whilst the rear is designed for traction and stability. They are not interchangeable.
