5. Setup and Installation

The GLOBACT Rear Tower Mount is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps to replace your existing tower mount:

1. Preparation: Ensure your RC vehicle is powered off and the battery is disconnected. Place the vehicle on a clean, stable surface.
2. Remove Existing Mount: Carefully identify and remove the screws securing the stock rear tower mount (LOS-1770) to the chassis and shock absorbers. Keep these screws organized, as some may be reused.
3. Position New Mount: Align the GLOBACT Rear Tower Mount with the mounting points on your RC vehicle's chassis and the shock absorbers. The precision CNC machining ensures a perfect fit.
4. Secure Mount: Use the provided screw kit (or appropriate screws from your original setup, if specified by your vehicle's manual) to securely fasten the new tower mount. Do not overtighten screws, as this can strip threads or damage components.
5. Final Check: Once installed, gently check that the mount is firm and all connections are secure. Ensure that the suspension components move freely without obstruction.

6. Operating Principles

The Rear Tower Mount serves as a critical structural component in your RC vehicle's suspension system. It securely connects the rear shock absorbers to the chassis, providing a stable anchor point that allows the suspension to function effectively. By upgrading to an aluminum mount, you enhance the rigidity and durability of this connection, which can lead to improved handling and resistance to damage during impacts.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GLOBACT Rear Tower Mount, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the mount for any signs of wear, bending, or damage, especially after heavy use or impacts.
• Check Screws: Ensure all screws securing the mount are tight. Vibrations from RC operation can sometimes loosen fasteners.
• Cleaning: Keep the mount free from dirt, dust, and debris. A soft brush or compressed air can be used for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the aluminum finish.
