Schelle Racing Innovations’ 2-row carbon fibre rear shock tower was developed for both the electric and nitro RC8B3.1 series buggy and offers a a second upper row of mount holes to move the entire shock when running a low roll centre on the rear hubs. Having the hinge pin close to the rear axle, commonly called “hubs down” will be shifting the shock along with the axle height on the rear hinge pin, giving the advantage of more up-travel. In bumpy conditions on hard cornering, the additional travel helps the tyres to navigate the surface without bottoming the shock and upsetting the chassis. The lower row of holes matches the kit geometry and is intended for running in the HRC axle height on the rear hub. The tower is cut from 4mm material, it has a no-pockets design to prevent delimitation and large hole spacing increases durability. The tower fits RC8B3.1, 3.1e, and older RC8B3 versions.
