..."This is a new geometry shock tower". It is shorter and wider then the stock Agama shock tower.
The middle upper shock mount hole is the same as the outer hole on the stock tower except lower for less up travel and more down travel. Use the short shock ends with this tower.
On this new front tower there are 6 more camber/roll center holes to chose from. Since they are carbon fiber and not aluminum, you must take precautions to prevent them from breaking.
Good question....I was wondering that myself. it says the same for the rear tower as well

The geometry is the same as the USA Edition aluminum towers, but there are extra adjustment holes.
Andrew Smolnik has been running them on his E-Buggy with great success! He is still rocking the original set after tons of packs, and a hand full of pretty hard tumbles

I have a usa spec sitting here and the rear carbon fiber is totally different geometry. Without taking towers off it looks like some of the front shock locations are the same but lower. On the front camber link locations, the stock usa spec has only 3 locations and the carbon fiber has 9. The middle location on C/F looks same as stock on usa towers. By usa towers i am talking about the black towers.

No problem. BTW the C/F rear tower makes the rear of the buggy way better. I first put the upper shock mounts 2 in from top, it was good but a little loose coming out of turns. Moved them to bottom hole and it is good to go. This was on hard pack/ light dust, med to low traction. Haven't tried the front yet but will this weekend at Myrtle beach race.

I tried 3 of the aluminum radio tray posts Mark, 2 of them snapped in half and the 3rd one snapped the screw head off. IMO something has to flex somewhere to prevent things from snapping. Maybe the aluminum post works allot better with the aluminum front and rear chassis braces but it's an epic fail with the plastic ones. At least it was for me but my track is almost pure MX style with huge air!

Is there a third aluminum post for the front? IMO that'd be the one with biggest gain, if it exists. I could see if there is, and you use that with the other two, that's where you'd run into problems with serious chassis flex.

I'd buy that aluminum post over the other two if you could only have one.

Do the new agama 8e share the same chassis as the USA edition or is it the regular chassis?
