Infinity IFB8 CFRP Shock Towers

Infinity has released new CFRP front and rear shock towers for its IFB8 1:8 Buggy Platform. By using 5mm thick Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), the shock mounting angle is optimised.

The new rear tower improves rear‑end stability and provides a more confident, planted driving feel. The CFRP versions also offer a weighting reduction over the kit’s original aluminium parts – a 12-grams saving for the front and a 13-grams saving for the rear. With both the front and rear GRFP towers fitted together on the IFB8, they deliver even greater overall chassis balance.
