Associated Shock Standoffs and Kyosho Shock and Turnbuckle Tool

Feb 13 2013

Associated Shock Standoffs

Avid designed a strong new standoff with a replaceable Delrin™ pivot bushing to coincide with the release of the new 12mm Team Associated big-bore shocks.   AVID Aluminum Shock Standoffs are made of black anodized 7075 Aluminum and have a wide base to prevent bent shock mount screws from de-railing your bid for TQ.  The pivot bushings can be replaced to help keep a tight fit and not wear out your aluminum shock caps.

What size standoff do I need?

Associated Shock Standoff | Short

This is a direct upgrade for the #1781 Associated Short Bushing. It is used on the rear of a B4.2, T4.2, and SC10.
