Coming from SWorkz and made for the S104-series of 1/10th 4WD buggies is an aluminium rear shock tower. The part is machined from high-quality 7075 material and it comes black anodised and with silver chamfered edges. The tower offers a variety of shock and camber link mounting positions and it makes for improved structural rigidity when attacking tracks with demanding jumps.
Coming from HiroFactory and made for the Yokomo YRX12 1/12th scale pan car are reactive castor upper arm mounts. The machined aluminium parts set the upper arms at an angle which results in increasing kingpin angles during cornering and thus improved steering response. The mounts come black anodised and in sets of two.
