R1 Wurks B7 Lowered Rear Tower Set with inverted Front Shocks

California based R1 Wurks has produced this Lowered Rear Tower Set that uses inverted Front Shocks and is intended for Team Associated’s B7 1:10 2WD Buggy.  The setup requires the use of an additional set of front-length shocks in the rear, resulting in one of the lightest and lowest centre of gravity rear shock configurations available.  In addition to the significantly reduced CG, it also delivers the performance advantages of inverted shocks, making it an essential upgrade option for high-traction surfaces.  Also the droop remains standard, while uptravel is reduced, ideal for smaller carpet tire diameters.  The set also shifts weight forward to enhance mass centralisation, improving rotation and steering response.
