XB2 Aero Tower
Sometimes things happen for a reason.
After working Psycho Nitro Blast and watching the racing all weekend, the gears started turning.
1/10th and 1/8th racing aren’t that different. The surface changes—but what we ask from the car doesn’t:
Unlimited grip.
More speed.
More steering.
Smoother cornering.
Better jumping.
Better landings.
We want everything—at once.
For years, we’ve studied how these cars actually behave. One thing kept showing up:
The car fights itself in the corner.
Brands—including us—have chased flex to fix it. But more flex brings its own problems: initial roll, inconsistency, and that snap at corner exit.
So we approached it differently.
Enter: Aero Towers
Designed per platform. Tested by racers. Built to push the limit—no matter your skill level.
The Front Tower
Go ahead—build a homemade wind tunnel. You’ll see it.
There’s almost no clean airflow reaching the cab or wing. The front tower acts like a wall.
The split design changes that.
By opening up airflow:
- Air moves into the cab and toward the wing
- Downforce shifts from in front of the car to a more central position
- The car gains initial steering and stability
The result?
No more “floating” feeling—just planted, confident turn-in.
In the Air
It’s not about adding a front wing—it’s about controlling air.
Under rough landings, traditional towers can trap air, lifting the front and causing rollovers. Upper wings help—but add drag.
The Aero Tower eliminates that pocket:
- Air flows cleanly through the chassis
- The car settles faster on landing
- You get back on power sooner
What you feel:
More high-speed grip. Better corner entry. Easier consistency at pace.
The Rear Tower
Less about airflow—more about function.
This is where grip and rotation come together.
- Increased brake stability entering corners
- Faster rotation without rear-end loss
- More confidence in aggressive lines
You can push harder into 180s, trust the rear in 90s, and carry more speed through sweepers.
We recommend stepping up rear sway bar—your car can now support it.
Why it Works
Traditional layouts create interference:
The outside shock influences the inside, creating binding and inconsistency.
With the split design:
- Each side works independently
- Tires stay planted
- Rotation becomes smoother and more predictable
The car stops fighting itself.
Design Details
- Each tower designed to the needs of the car.
- Only lower bridge when needed = less weight, more airflow.
- Similar strength to normal style towers.
- Independent sides reduce crack propagation
- Break one side? Replace one side.
Optional lightweight guards are available:
- Chamfered for a clean look
- Available for front or rear
- Compatible with upright or flipped shock setups

Also available for the XB2 is our Rear Shock Inversion Kit. This includes 2 Custom Ball Studs that work on both the plastic Standard and -1 Shock Cap as well as Xray Rod Ends. It comes with a Carbon Fiber Shim kit to get that perfect standoff length (we recommend 4mm on the top and 1mm on the bottom).
One kit will do upper, a second kit is needed to do the lower arm (we recommend no Gull Insert when Inverting Shocks). This is an easy way to get the correct standoff that has 0 bind for your XB2.
