Avid B6-series shock standoffs

Coming from Avid and made for the Team Associated B6-series buggies is an aluminium shock standoff set. The standoffs are a direct replacement for the kit parts, including two short front and two long rear shock mounts, as well as four Delrin pivot bushings. The standoffs are made of black anodised 7075 aluminium with a 7mm nut as the base to easily install and a long fully threaded stem to help prevent bent shock mount screws while throwing down laps. The Delrin pivot bushings are designed to rest against the smooth standoff instead of the screw which extends the life of them however they can be replaced to help maintain a tight fit in the shock cap when needed.
