We will be looking into releasing the towers so everyone can have all the mods in one package for the most part. One problem is that we are not going to make a rod end for the front tower so these towers would really just be for the die hard racers that aren't scared about getting some custom parts to finish the setup. We will look into selling another companies rod end and ball to complete the setup though.
You do still need to dremel a little with a drum bit on the diff cases to give the camber link rod end room to pivot. The rear tower does have holes that reach past the 0 mod and all holes are still inline with the lower inner hinge-pins.
The towers offer other benefits besides the front camber mod and rear 0 mod, they also change the angle of the shock as you can see but I have also adjusted the amount of travel to better suit the AE shock (especially on rough track conditions).
At the Nats I will be running my 3rd generation of these towers (most likely with a bar on the front for production durability) which will most likely be the final geometry if we go to market.
We also have another part for the RC8.2 that I ran at the ROAR Warm Up and it performed very well so maybe we will couple it with the towers. It is a chassis support doo-hickey to aid in keeping the chassis a bit more flat in the middle.

I will be there as well. Can't wait. Love that facility/track. From what I remember the last time I was there the track started out with a little loam on the top after the rebuild, but, it quickly developed a groove and the traction came WAY up. Starting with a higher oil, the track should come to you.

Thank you sir, nitro was definitely a different experience than what I've been used to the past 13 years doing electric only. It was a ton of fun, and got a TQ and win on points night. Ebuggy was equally dialed. Pretty fun night of racing, that's what its all about.
