Infinity IFB8 CFRP Shock Towers

Infinity has released new CFRP front and rear shock towers for its IFB8 1:8 Buggy Platform.  By using 5mm thick Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), the shock mounting angle is optimised.  With the front tower this improves road‑holding performance and enabling more precise, controlled cornering.  The new rear tower improves rear‑end stability and provides a more confident, planted driving feel.  The CFRP versions also offer a weighting reduction over the kit’s original aluminium parts – a 12-grams saving for the front and a 13-grams saving for the rear.  With both the front and rear GRFP towers fitted together on the IFB8, they deliver even greater overall chassis balance.
