The RC10B7.1 FT Front Shock Tower -2mm is manufactured to exacting standards that reflect Team Associated's decades of experience in 1/10 scale RC buggy design and competition racing. The shock tower serves as the critical mounting point for your front suspension geometry, directly affecting how forces are transmitted through the chassis during acceleration, braking and cornering. The -2mm specification refers to a particular geometry offset that allows you to adjust your buggy's ride height and suspension response characteristics to suit your driving style and track conditions. This component is manufactured using the same materials and precision tolerances as the original equipment that comes with your RC10B7.1 buggy, ensuring perfect fitment and performance. Team Associated engineers have designed this part to work in perfect harmony with the rest of the RC10B7.1 suspension system, including the front shocks, anti-roll bars and suspension links.
