Avid RC8B3 carbon shock towers & alloy standoffs

Coming from Avid and made for the Team Associated RC8B3 buggy are front and rear carbon fibre shock towers and suitable aluminium shock standoffs.

The included standoffs are of a -1mm design to keep the standard shock angle, they are made from high-quality alloy material and using both the towers and standoffs scrubs around 40 percent of weight for a lower centre of gravity and improved handling. The parts are available as combo set with two towers and four standoffs and they are also sold separately for spares or repair.
