This is the problem. Not one single thing was said about a new car on that Area 51 status. Everyone is so quick to jump on that wagon, you included.

I heard they are going to make a running change to the shock towers just like they did to the rear U brace years ago.

Why make new shock towers for a car that may be updated soon...?? Waste of money. Especially when you can dremel sooo easily and it's perfect. Probably won't be any new towers until bb's are standard on a car. Right now they are just aftermarket parts.

The new car might have totally different towers anyway. It's unlikely that a redesigned car will share the same old geometry. Probably redesign everything.

P.s. I hope it's a new 4wd

If you are into rc and don't have a dremel, then it looks like you better take a trip to home depot or lowes. Walmart and Target have them too!

Why???? Because thousands of people have the B4.1 platform and will not all switch to a new model. They will continue to support the 4.1 for a long time. A new mold for a new tower is really not that expensive, especially if the current mold can be updated.

B4.1 kits will only come with the 10mm shocks .....



No need for modded towers if the kit does not use BB 12mm ....

I don't think they would announce it this early if it was a year out.

Probably some random type car none of us will even buy. Haha jk

Not expensive is a relative term.
