Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra Shock Stand TC

Revolution Design Racing Products is busy adding more accessories to their already impressive line up with the Ultra Shock Stand TC being their latest offering. The handy tool keeps things sorted during building, rebuilding and setup of 1/10th touring car shock absorbers. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium the stand is usable with both standard and big bore shocks and it keeps them in a perfectly upright position, allowing to easily and conveniently fill the dampers with shock fluid and they are also perfectly stored away when waiting for those nasty air bubbles to disappear. On top of this, small compartments under each shock hold small parts such as volume compensators and the like. Laser-etched markings help with shock identification to avoid any mix-ups and the stand comes in the five different colours of light blue, dark blue, black, orange and red.
