Atomic Carbon RB5 Shock Mounts

[jim76]

Hi
I recently purchased some adhoc RB5 shockmounts that were developed with help from Stu Wood. These are the usual high standard atomic items, made in really nice thick 4mm carbon for extra strength. The front mount has an additional hole in the more upright position, and the rear has 2 more holes in the upright position to get the shocks more vertical.

Jonathan at atomic wasn't sure of the demand for these hence why they are currently bespoke jobs. I told him i would start a thread on here to guage peoples interest. Hopefully if enough people are interested he can make them as a stock item which should bring the price down slightly compared to the bespoke price.

If you fancy a pair for your RB5 then please reply to this thread to show your interest.
thanks

Hello,

thank you very much for your quick reply. I'm really interested in those shock towers and I'd love to buy a pair.

Best regards from Germany,

Your english is perfect and also polite

Depending on price, i too would also be interested in both front and rear towers.

the adhoc ones i got were £10 front and £18 rear. Production ones will hopefully be slightly less, but not sure how much. Jonathan may be able to give more details.

Thanks Jim.

Tbh the rear one is quite expensive, but i do appreciate it is quite large and has some development work involved.

Im now used to buying Tamiya carbon shock tower for the 501 @ £5 front and £6 for the rear

If prices were posted on here , im sure he will attract business no probs.

Just fitted mine to my RB5 to run this weekend. I must say they fitted like a dream. So much more option on shock position.

[OldTimer]

Hopefully have the towers in stock next week, they worked well on Woody's car at the weekend, unfortunately the price is going to be around the price of the prototype's (£10 for fronts / £18 for rears) but i am trying to sort out a launch offer for oople members

The rear tower is a little pricey but it is made from a large slab of 4mm carbon fibre and has two extra shock mounting holes each side, also the front tower is also 4mm carbon fibre and has one extra shock mounting hole each side.

Photos below of the towers fitted to Woodys car at the Bury National.

[jim76]

there are about 5-6 people on petit-rc who are afte these also. Someone copied my thread over there!

The rear tower i have also has an additional brace between the two sides towards the top for additional strength, which woodys car doesn't currently have.

[OldTimer]

Once i get them in, i will post some photos of the production versions, but as jim76 has pointed out, there is a 3mm brace across the rear tower which is not on Woodys early proto's.

[OldTimer]

The RB5 shock towers are now in stock, and as a launch offer for members of oOple.com a set will cost £25.00 with free P&P (UK only). Normal price will be £10 fronts / £18 rears plus £1.50 P&P (UK).

Simply drop me a PM via the oOple forum with your paypal email address and i will send you a paypal invoice by return, and orders placed and paid for over the weekend, will ship on Monday.

I will post some photos of the towers tonight.

[jim76]

Damn! i should have held on a bit!

it's a good deal - snap them up i say!!

I've just ordered a pair for my RB5. Which hole would you recommend for a very slippery and dusty clay track?

Thanks, greets from Germany.
