Hello,

As far as i know:

front : OK
rear : asso shocks too short

I think the real benefit of this is to combine these shocks towers with losi shocks to improve handling in bumps. right ???

I've got a new set of these which I will be listing in the for sale section later if you want some.

Mike, yes you can use the AE shocks as there is a lower inner hole to suit them on the rear tower, and the fronts are the same size as the losi shocks we use.

old timer, does just having one hole for associated shocks not mean that there are hardly any setup opportunities like on the original tower??

is the geometry on the front tower the same [is it just different looks and thicker material]? or are all the top shock positions completely diferent to standard tower???

@mattym0310 we very rarely move the top of the rear shock, most changes are on the wishbone and at the front end. The front tower (as well as the rear) has different geometry than the std bj4we tower as well as being made of thicker 4mm carbon fibre.

@woohaa19 yes i will be at kiddy on the sunday, the front tower is £22.75 and also comes with a carbon fibre spacer as well as long screws, the rear tower is £11.50
