Brand: Associated
Part No: AS81422
Shadow Stock: Usually ships next day
The Associated RC8B3.1 FT Graphite Rear Shock Tower – Tall (AS81422) raises the upper shock mounting positions to create a taller tower geometry. Increasing available up‑travel allows the shock to continue its stroke after the chassis meets the ground, helping the tyre absorb more impact and improving composure through bumps and high‑speed corners. Developed by Area 51 engineers, the revised locations are optimised to deliver balanced up‑travel with both low and high axle positions.
Key Features
- Taller tower geometry from raised top shock mounting positions
- Increased up‑travel for improved bump handling and high‑speed cornering
- Factory Team graphite construction
- Refined by Area 51 engineers for balanced performance with low and high axle positions
Suggested Compatibility
- Team Associated RC8B3.1
- Team Associated RC8B3.2

Associated Electronics have raised the top shock mounting positions in their new graphite rear shock tower, resulting in a taller tower geometry.
Taller tower geometry increases up-travel. Up-travel is how much further the shock can travel upwards in its stroke after the chassis has bottomed out with the ground. Increasing up-travel lets the tire absorb more impact and improves handling in bumps and high-speed cornering.
After testing, Area 51 engineers found that by raising the existing shock locations by a specific amount, up-travel is optimized for both low and high axle positions.
