Associated RC8B4.1 16mm 1.5mm Wire Shock Springs

Team Associated has added a new 1.50mm (1.5D) wire spring lineup to tune its RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy for the un-groomed and bumpy surfaces encountered at DNC and Silver State.  As part of ongoing 1:8 scale development, the team noticed that the current line of 1.6mm wire springs perform well on a higher grip fast layout, but struggled for consistent grip on un-groomed tracks.  Changing the wire diameter to 1.5mm gives the spring a different natural frequency and stress on the wire, so it can more easily compress and conform to the track surface in lower grip.  Coupled with new softer rates in the front and rear, the new spring lineup is ideal for un-groomed surfaces where traction is at a premium.  Both front and rear springs are shortened from the previous kit (front spring from 70mm to 68mm, and rear springs from 86mm to 83mm free length) to optimise the package with the new lower RC8B4.1 shock towers.
