Yes, the only real difference is the B4 uses threaded shock bodies, but the basic design hasn't changed in over 20 years.

The rears are the same length, but the fronts are a bit longer. The guy on Ebay selling graphite shock towers has holes for the longer shocks though.

Thanks, i want to get a set of the hard anodized shocks like on the black chassis cars, but there seems to be more threaded shocks available.

The shock tower on the right is the one burst59 is talking about. They made these "custom" for me, but now that they have the template, they'll make them for anyone for about the same price as their other front towers. These are made from their standard weave 3mm CF sheet product - beautiful parts.

Those look awesome. I wonder how much they would cost me to get them to California? 11 pounds sterling is probably 22 dollars. Then a few more to ship across the pond.

do they make the rear shock tower also?

Having CF shock towers on my CF Rc10 would be really nice.

I got the 2 front truts from fibre-lyte yesterday. it took 2 to 3 weeks to get here.
.89 shock body + .71 shaft match perfectly with "aeiou version worlds shock tower".
looks killer
