Avid Associated 12mm shock & turnbuckle tool

Avid introduce the 12mm shock and turnbuckle tool for Team Associated 1/10th buggies such as the B5, B44.2 and T4.2. The tool works with Associated, JConcepts and Lunsford turnbuckles and can also be used to hold the shock bottom of the new AE 12mm shocks. The tool also mimics the servo mounting pattern of the B44 buggy allowing to mount the servo to the mounts outside of the chassis meaning everything will be nice, centred and tweak-free. Once the assembly is squared up detach it from the tool and mount it to the chassis. The tool is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium and comes black anodised with silver edges and laser-etched logo.
