TeamSR TLR22T rear shock tower assembly

TeamSR have introduced the only complete Quasi-Isotropic carbon fiber rear shock tower assembly on the market for the TLR22T platform. Emphasis has not only been placed on a clean aesthetic and durability in mind, but also with the TeamSR signature ‘sealed wet look’ edges. Aircraft grade 7075 T6 aluminium is used to provide a solid, black anodized precision machined piece and this unique piece is then engraved with the TSR logo on top. The tower assembly is a true ‘bolt on’ part and comes pre-assembled to provide a more rigid and light weight tower thus increasing durability over the existing factory plastic molded tower.
