Associated TC7.1 PSD shock system & CF bumper brace

Team Associated have introduced two new option parts for the TC7.1 touring car in the form of the Factory Team PSD shock system and a carbon fibre bumper brace. Starting with the PSD Position Sensitive Damping shock system, using the parts makes for a progressive damping that is determined by the piston’s position in the shock body. The more the shock is compressed, the more damping, giving the shocks a plusher feel. The secret lies in the tapered slots in the sleeves. As the piston passes through the narrower slot openings, more pack is achieved. Designed for the use on asphalt tracks with the TC7.1’s small shock bodies the set includes a pair of aluminium sleeves and plain shock pistons. Also new is a woven graphite bumper brace for the TC7.1 A direct replacement for the standard composite part, the carbon fibre brace improves overall stability, durability and it makes for improved visual impact.
