New Avid RC B7 Front Roll Center and Shock Tower Alignment Shims

Press Release From Avid RC:
www.avidrc.com

The Avid B7 Front Shock Tower Alignment Shim is an essential component for Avid racers who utilize the +2.5° bulkhead kickup block in their vehicles. The current configuration of the B7 shock (just like the B6.4 which we fixed with this) is angled in relation to the arm and upper shock mount when using the kit shock standoffs (If you are using the Avid B7 Shock Standoffs, you do not need this part). To maintain a reliable front-end experience, it is important that the shocks remain perpendicular to both the front arm and upper shock mount. Our alignment shim addresses this concern and ensures that the consistent front-end feel that has become a hallmark of the B6 series of vehicles is restored.

Details

• Restores that reliable front-end experience by placing the shocks perpendicular to the arms and shock mounts when using the +2.5° bulkhead kickup block.
• Only use with the kit shock standoffs, do not use with the Avid B7 Shock Standoffs because the geometry if fixed with those.
• 100% Carbon Fiber.
• Goes behind the tower.
• Fits: Team Associated B7

The Avid B7 Front Roll Center Shims are made out of 100% carbon and are offered in this set with four thicknesses of 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm. Lowering the front hinge pins allows the front end to roll more. This is extremely helpful for absorbing the extra energy caused by high bite tracks like carpet/astro turf/prepped clay. It can sometimes be counter-intuitive thinking why this helps, but a good way to picture the benefits, imagine your car has turnbuckles as front shock. When giving your car any steering input the car will immediately respond causing the rear to become unstable. This increase in roll helps slow all that reaction down in the front and then in the mid-corner it picks up steering. 

Details

• 100% Carbon Fiber
• Helps to keep the bulkhead from bending when using the kit plastic roll center shims.
• You will need calipers to measure because we are cheap and dumb for not marking them, but they are cheap!
• Includes (1) 0.5mm, (1) 1.0mm, (1) 1.5mm, and (1) 2.0mm Shims.
