Revolution Design B74 LCG carbon fibre shock towers

Ruddog Distribution from Germany have introduced the new Revolution Design Racing Products B74 LCG front and rear shock towers that were developed for the use with the Team Associated B6.1 and B6.2 shock absorbers. The result is an overall lower centre of gravity for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy, which helps to increase corner speeds on high-bite surfaces such as carpet, astro turf and prepped clay. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre and featuring a reinforced design for durability, the front shock tower is a direct fit when using 23mm shock bodies and 21mm shock rods while the rear LCG shock tower was developed for the use with 27.5mm shock bodies and shock shafts. Both the front and rear LCG shock tower feature a single row inner camber link mount design as this is the most preferred option among most racers and they are available from now on.

Infinity IF14-2 PRS rear suspension kit

Coming from Creation Model and made for the Infinity IF14-2 touring car is the PRS Passive Rear Steering suspension kit. The set will create a reactive toe adjustment upon cornering when the chassis roll leads to toe angle changes which can help to find more corner speeds and control, especially when running with modified motors and on outdoor tracks. The amount of toe angle change can be fine-tuned via the toe rod angle and with the help of different thickness shims. The set includes all needed parts such as rear lower arms, hubs, C-hubs and mounting hardware.
