The machined aluminium shock stays offer a 12-hole design to allow for complex shock geometry setups and they are machined from high-quality aluminium for stability and looks. The plates are usable with an optional rear stiffener in case even more reinforcement is needed, they are available as pairs including hardware and in three different colours.
Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products and made for the Team Associated B64 buggies are the new Type B carbon fibre shock towers. First up is the front shock stay that utilises an updated geometry with the upper link mounting positions sitting in an in-between position between the standard inner and outer rows. This lets the camber link ball stud sit in a row with the lower hinge pin for a greatly improved suspension geometry.
