- Complete Shock Tower Set — The package includes both front and rear shock towers, which are critical chassis components that mount the suspension shocks and determine ride height, suspension geometry, and overall chassis handling characteristics.
- Integrated Wing Mount Hardware — The set incorporates wing mount provisions, allowing you to securely attach a rear wing for improved aerodynamics and high-speed stability during fast runs or competitive racing.
- Designed for Reflex 14B/14T Compatibility — This part is specifically engineered for the Reflex 14B buggy and the Reflex 14T truck variants, ensuring correct fitment and alignment with your existing chassis components.
- Ideal for Maintenance and Repair — Whether you're replacing damaged towers after a crash, performing routine maintenance, or building up a second chassis, this set provides everything you need for the critical shock tower and wing mount areas.
- Black Finish — The components feature a professional black finish that matches the aesthetic of the Reflex 14B/14T range whilst providing durable protection against wear and UV exposure.
- Lightweight Engineering — Designed to minimise unsprung mass whilst maintaining structural rigidity, helping preserve the responsive handling and agility that 1:14 scale buggies are known for.
Technical Performance
The AS21503 shock tower and wing mount set represents the engineering excellence that Team Associated brings to 1:14 scale RC buggy design. The shock towers are critical load-bearing components that must maintain precise geometry under the dynamic forces experienced during acceleration, braking, and cornering. By using genuine Associated parts, you ensure that your suspension mounting points remain perfectly aligned, which directly impacts the handling balance, steering response, and traction of your Reflex 14B or 14T. The integrated wing mount system allows you to add a rear aerodynamic element when needed, increasing downforce during high-speed runs and improving stability on faster tracks. The black finish provides both visual cohesion with the rest of the Reflex chassis and practical durability, resisting scratches and maintaining appearance through numerous runs and maintenance cycles. Whether you're running your RC buggy casually at the local track or competing in more organised events across the UK, maintaining original shock towers and wing mounts ensures your vehicle performs exactly as the design engineers intended, with proper suspension travel, consistent handling characteristics, and reliable long-term durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the AS21503 compatible with both the Reflex 14B buggy and Reflex 14T truck? — Yes, this part set is specifically designed to fit both the Reflex 14B and Reflex 14T variants. However, it's always wise to consult your model's manual or exploded view diagram to confirm the correct part location and assembly sequence before installation, as chassis layout variations between models may affect how certain components are mounted.
- What should I use this part for? — The AS21503 is ideal if your shock towers have become damaged or bent from impacts during crashes, if you're rebuilding your Reflex 14B from parts, if you want to set up a second chassis, or if you're performing comprehensive maintenance and want to replace suspension mounting components preventatively to ensure optimal handling geometry.
- Is this an original Team Associated part? — Yes, the AS21503 is a genuine OEM part manufactured by Team Associated, not a third-party copy or clone. Using authentic parts ensures perfect fitment and maintains the performance characteristics and durability that the engineers designed into your RC buggy.
- Do I need any special tools to install these shock towers? — The installation process is straightforward and requires only basic RC hobby tools. You'll need a hex key set to remove fasteners and remount the towers onto your chassis. Refer to your Reflex 14B or 14T assembly manual for detailed step-by-step instructions specific to your model.
- What is the difference between genuine Associated parts and aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Team Associated parts are engineered and manufactured to exact specifications that match your vehicle's original design. This ensures perfect fitment, correct geometric alignment, and reliability. Aftermarket parts may fit approximately but can introduce inconsistencies in suspension geometry, handling balance, and longevity. When you're investing in an RC buggy UK, using authentic spares protects that investment.
- Can I use this shock tower set if I modify my suspension setup? — These towers are designed to work with the standard Reflex 14B/14T suspension configuration. If you've made significant modifications to your suspension travel, spring rates, or geometry, you should verify compatibility before installation. The basic tower structure will fit, but custom suspension setups might interact differently with the mounting points.
