Factory Team RC8B4.1 Shock Towers | Shock Standoffs

New from Team Associated’s optional parts brand Factory Team Carbon Fibre Shock Towers and Aluminium Shock Standoffs for the RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy.   The 5mm Front and 4mm rear shock tower together with hard-anodised aluminium shock standoffs lower the centre of gravity.  The updated design towers require shorter standoffs #81657 due to the solid cross-section around the shock mount screws. Overall, this is the most durable way to execute this lightweight design.  The Front tower fits the RC8B4.1 26.5mm kit front shocks and with the Rear tower fits 36.5mm kit rear shocks.  The new hard-anodised alu shock standoffs come in two different sets.  One is set is the standard kit length 14mm and 17mm (distance from the base to the pivot ball) while the other is a custom shorter set with 12.5mm and 16mm offset intended to mate with the FT carbon fiber shock towers which do not have the recessed pockets that the aluminium kit towers have.
