Team Grid RC8 suspension race geometry kit

GRID-RC8-Sus-Geo-Kit

Team Grid got in touch to tell us about their new race geometry suspension kit for Team Associated’s RC8 buggy. The kit converts all existing RC8 nitro or electric buggy into a super handling race machine for rough track conditions and slippery hard clay surfaces. The specially designed shock adaptors bring the shock rod ends deep into the stock arms, and the new front and rear shock towers also position the shock more upright. This new geometry enables full progressive action of the suspension arms as it navigates rough track surfaces. The shock towers offer a five position mount to tune the front and rear suspension even further. The shock towers and adaptors are CNC machined from 5mm thick aluminium and fit Team Grid’s already available suspension arms.
