Avid RC8.2 hard anodised shock towers

Avid introduce hard anodised aluminium shock towers for the Team Associated RC8.2 buggy. They feature an updated design that allows to use the popular camber rod mod without having to drill out inserts. The rear tower also is supplied with the popular ‘0’ hole and new shock tower positions with an additional inner hole and a removed outer hole for a more compact appearance. Both the front and rear tower are a direct fit on every RC8 buggy but it is recommended to only use the front tower in conjunction with the new AE vertical spindle system as the stock moulded caster blocks do not offer the support for the camber link mod. The overall shape now also offers clearance for larger HB/GHEA shock caps and Kyosho shocks. Available as separate items or as set of one front and one rear tower.
