Here's a picture of the stronger shock tower. It has kyosho molded at the bottom of the shock tower. The extra material was added to the inside sides and the lower section.

Hmm...I have a feeling I have the original shock tower as I don't remember seeing the Kyosho molded in the bottom. Thanks for the pic and info!

You don’t need anything else if you keep the car on the wheels all the time…

or on the shelf like most, or half-finshed in a storagebox like me

but seriously, I have a question: how can they mould that text onto a part that's cut from flat material?

There's a run of front and rear shock towers that are molded but pretty much flat. Then there's the original FRP parts plus I've found updated FRP parts that are heavier duty than the originals.

On a side note, does anyone have a spare front bumper laying around? That's about the only piece I'm short from completing a roller... I know about the one on Ebay, just looking for other options if possible. Thanks!

I've only seen the molded graphite shock towers for the triumph. I never knew there were fibergalss versions...are you sure it wasn't for a pro-x?

I should start working on mine again. It misses little else than the topdeck, but I was thinking of making my own design anyway... and then got lazy and distracted with other builds

You want to see a picture? I still have it in the packaging but it's gotta come out some day anyway

I definately want to see one. I've always liked the triumph and thought with a little help, the car could become very competetive.

a little different shape 3mm thick I estimate, and not GF but true carbon
