Default 8 racing shock tower for B4, X6 or C4

b4_front_carbon_tower.jpg

Stumbled across this on www.p-dubracing.co.uk only 14.50 and no blocks required.

They do look nice but you have no provision for moving the inner ballstud height (which is used for tuning a LOT)

There is more than one hole for height adjustment.

I agree with Darren Ian - for fine adjustment (especially for any mid-motored cars) that is not the right way. I adjust sometimes by 1mm through to 4 or even 5mm sometimes and that simply doesn't do it. Also it looks like thin carbon compared to others.

All,

I've yet to make any official announcement about it, but I've taken over the running of P-DubRacing from Paul Wragg.

So any question about the P-DubRacing product line, feel free to contact me via the P-DubRacing website (http://www.p-dubracing.co.uk/)

Tony, the 8-racing tower are 4mm thick. Photos don't really show it that well.
(The 8-racing tower for the B44 are also 4mm thick).

In terms of adjustment there are 6 holes in the tower for the ball stud location. I would also agree that the vertical mounted ball stud gives a much wider range of adjustments. (It was one the major points when the B4 came out first.)
But this tower is another option for drivers.

MiCk B. :-)

Hi yah Mick - Good to hear that - you can PM me about continuation of running the products then - LOL.
That is excellent news on P-Dub, I am sure you will do a great job and good luck.......
As for the tower, I think Marc is targetting the racers out there as much as the nice looks of the product.
Your tower looks real nice and good to hear that it is 4mm but it is cheaper option without the fine tuning option. I think we all agree with that.
I think Marc should do the alloy parts separate and maybe people can have a choice........
Saying that i drive Kyosho and don't actually have that problem - LOL
Good to hear from you.............

Tony,

Thanks for the kind words.......


The shock towers (which I have more on the way), they are what they are.

The towers from MK racing, allow fine tuning of the roll centre, using washers.
(I've yet to see one in the flesh, but from the photos they do look to be very well made.)

The 8-racing towers have six location on the tower for the ball stud, so limited to that.

So it's down to the personal preferences, you pay your money and make your choice.

MiCk B. :-)
