Vigor T4F’21 multi-use rear shock tower

Vigor have introduced their new multi-use rear carbon fibre shock tower for the Xray T4F’21. The design with two additional rear body mount locations allows to move the horizontal rear body mount position up and down to fine-tune body rake and ground clearance while also accepting vertical body mounts for those who favour this “old school” kind of attaching the body. The rear shock tower is machined from high-quality carbon fibre and it is understood to match the kit suspension geometry.

Vigor carbon fibre mid motor tweak rod

Vigor have introduced their new carbon fibre tweak rod designed for mid motor touring cars. Made of a sturdy carbon fibre rod, the tool helps to remove tweak from chassis and bulkhead assemblies by loosening the bulkhead and top deck screws, pressing down the tweak rod onto the front and rear shock tower, and tightening the bulkhead clamp and top deck screws. The result is a chassis with minimal tweak which results in a more predictable on-track performance. A machined slot in the rod makes way for the spur gear of mid motor touring cars, allowing to use the rod even with today’s ultra low profile shock towers.
