German parts manufacturer PSM have released new carbon fibre shock towers for TLR’s recently released 8IGHT X/E 2.0. The German company’s R&D team has spent quite some track-time with the TLR latest 1:8 Offroad buggy since its release and during their tests they discovered that some adjustments could be made to further improve it’s performance. The result is these new front and rear shock towers, made from genuine PSM carbon fibre, which has been proven to be very durable and a great option to create more overall traction and steering capabilities. Due to the lightweight design and material, it will lower the centre of gravity of your vehicle. In addition to that, the refined suspension geometry results in stable and predictable vehicle handling combined with easier setup due to the removal of unnecessary linkage options.
JConcepts have released these clip on big bore shock limiters and up travel kits. Up and down travel are huge adjustments, with one taking place outside the shock and another, inside the shock. JConcepts has refined lightweight injection molded spacers in multiple increments to make solid vehicle adjustments. The down travel limiters are precision molded in 1, 2, 3, and 6mm lengths to achieve a wide range of options. The outside limiters, included in the same length, are clip based with a small opening so adjustments can be made on the fly to the outside. The kit is ideal for all 1/10th and 1/8th shock tuning using either 3.0 or 3.5mm shock shafts and is available in red, black, yellow and white.
