Post by B3rc10 »

Broke my b3s shock tower today. Is the b4s tower similar? Or any other front tower i could use? Even if I have to drill out new holes.....?

I think he's looking for a front tower. Fibre-lyte makes several towers. They pop up on eBay fairly often.

^ I'm planning to go that route also. It took me a while to get my hands on the bullet wing mounts, and now just waiting on the towers :mrgreen:

We were going to use the bullet wing mounts, too, but decided to go with these little guys instead:

If you're going brushless I'd either get the woven ones for the rear now or buy extras. I've broken quite a few even after adding a wheelie bar like in the link below. It's definitely the weak point on that car.
