Technical Performance
The Corally Shock Tower Asuga XLR Front represents a significant upgrade opportunity for anyone running the Asuga XLR 6S brushless RC buggy platform. Built from 7075-T6 aluminium alloy through precision CNC-machining, this component delivers the rigidity and durability required for serious RC driving. The 5mm thickness provides optimal structural integrity without unnecessary weight, a critical balance in modern RC vehicle design where every gram affects acceleration, cornering speed, and overall handling precision. The hard anodised finish isn't merely aesthetic—it's a functional coating that resists corrosion from moisture, dirt, and salt, ensuring your investment maintains its performance characteristics season after season. This shock tower functions as both a critical structural component and a tuning element; upgrading from stock components to this precision-engineered part can noticeably improve your RC car's suspension response, stability during high-speed cornering, and overall chassis rigidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this shock tower suitable for beginners? — This is a tuning part and spare component designed for those who already own a Corally Asuga XLR 6S RC buggy and wish to upgrade or replace their existing shock tower. If you're new to RC cars UK and don't yet own this specific model, you'll need the full Asuga XLR 6S platform first. However, once you have the buggy, this is an excellent upgrade choice that will genuinely improve your driving experience.
- Which RC cars does this shock tower fit? — This front shock tower is specifically compatible with the following Corally Asuga XLR 6S models: the C-00488-B Roller in Blue, C-00488-R Roller in Red, C-00488-G Roller in Green, the C-00288-G RTR Brushless in Green, C-00288-B RTR Brushless in Blue, and the C-00288-R RTR Brushless in Red. It will not fit other RC platforms without modification.
- Why would I need to replace my shock tower? — Over time, stock shock towers can become damaged from crashes, bent from hard impacts, or flex excessively during competitive driving. Upgrading to this premium 7075-T6 hard anodised component provides superior durability, reduced flex, and improved suspension geometry control. Many RC enthusiasts upgrade as a preventative measure to eliminate handling inconsistencies caused by component flex.
- Is the hard anodised finish durable? — Yes, hard anodising is one of the most durable surface treatments available for aluminium components. It's significantly tougher than standard anodising and provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for RC cars used in varied outdoor conditions across the UK, from wet grass to dusty tracks.
- What tools do I need to install this shock tower? — Installation requirements depend on your specific setup and whether you're replacing an existing shock tower or installing fresh. Standard hex keys and screwdrivers are typically needed. Consult the Asuga XLR 6S manual or the RC Model Shop team for detailed installation guidance specific to your vehicle configuration.
- How does CNC-machining benefit me? — CNC-machining ensures every shock tower is manufactured to identical specifications with zero variation between units, guaranteeing consistent handling characteristics. This precision is particularly important for competitive driving where even small variations can affect lap times and vehicle behaviour.
