The new car is supposedly going to ship before the new year and I would expect the towers and the arms to be close behind that. (Always trust the 'Two weeks' theory lol)
Keep in mind if you want to use the new towers you're going to need the new shock bodies as well to get the travel back.

No worries I get it! I miss the glory days of RCTech but the convenience of FB groups has made it less desirable sadly. As for things you can do to maximize the performance of the standard chassis (or what I had luck with) was adding weight to the rear of the car. I usually started with 15g in front of the C plate and then usually ended up with 30g. The bellow setup is one I used just before the RWB chassis came out. I like the rear carbon tower, to me it keeps the rear end flatter I definitely recommend people try one. The 8 hole pistons I have on the sheet ARE NOT the fastest pistons but man are they super easy to drive in all conditions, but the six and five hole variants that Kurt and Spencer recommend are faster 90% of the time.
Some things I would change knowing what I know now though would be drop the front and rear spring down to white fronts and black rears, front shock tower location would be moved to 3, change caster shim to 1.0mm, change the A block to middle, shock length on the rear to 127mm, decrease rear camber down to -2°, and change the LRC plate to middle middle (2° anti squat), and last but not least i would move the upper front arms to have as much upward angle as possible (Up and out on the tower, down and out on the back)
Hope this helps you guys, I'll try to check back later today if you guys have questions. If not I'll snag them in the morning.
