Coming from Xpress and made for their FT1 and FT1S FWD touring cars are new short shock conversion parts. First up is a front adapter set that will allow to use optional short low-profile shocks in the front of the cars. The adapters are machined from aluminium, they come black anodised, and feature three mounting positions for the upper shock mounting while attaching to the standard shock tower. Also new is a short shock rear shock tower for the FT1 and FT1S. Machined from 3mm carbon fibre the shock stay features a new geometry for the use with optional low-profile short shocks with multiple upper shock mounting positions being accessible. Using shorter shocks will lower the overall centre of gravity, making for sharper steering response and improved corner speed.

Ruddog Distribution from Germany have introduced the new Revolution Design Racing Products B74 LCG front and rear shock towers that were developed for the use with the Team Associated B6.1 and B6.2 shock absorbers. The result is an overall lower centre of gravity for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy, which helps to increase corner speeds on high-bite surfaces such as carpet, astro turf and prepped clay. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre and featuring a reinforced design for durability, the front shock tower is a direct fit when using 23mm shock bodies and 21mm shock rods while the rear LCG shock tower was developed for the use with 27.5mm shock bodies and shock shafts. Both the front and rear LCG shock tower feature a single row inner camber link mount design as this is the most preferred option among most racers and they are available from now on.
