I like the tower on the left with the holes, not totally keen on the solid ones, i suppose it could give extra downforce, I will be ordering before the euro off road series for my Monkey, not keen on going with out more than a few spare towers.

Eric you will need the stronger one if they are using that Jump from the petit race last year
Longrat did you get my pm?

don't be dubious full options work and materials are the best I've seen. We beat the living snot out of the prototype one at the weekend (the one with the machined out tower) deliberately landing the car upside down off the doubles on astroturf, and had no issues with the machined one. so the production one with no cut outs should be damn near bullet proof

Here's the kit contents of the production version.
I hope those people who have already received their towers can post some feedback, hopefully this will end the woes with the kit tower. Last weekend we had an awesome session at the track where the prototype tower again performed as expected. Can't wait to get out there again. |

That's odd, just out of curiosity did you seal the edges of the carbon with superglue?
|
#31
|
|||
|
|||
No just put it straight on, its not actually all the way the edge if the tower. Just a few mm above the top wing mount hole. I will try and upload a pic. It did it first night I used it and it hasn't got any worse since

Super glue the edges on all carbon fiber parts it will stop this happening
Drop some super glue on a cotton bud then run all around the edges job Done |
#33
|

|
||||
Always superglue carbon and do more than one layer otherwise it will soak in and not seal it very well, Also look much better when edges are sended down and then glued.
And ill put in a word for how much beating that prototype tower got!! |

My son ran one on his (soon to be mine) X2c at the weekend; No problems. It's the nutz!
Are you going to be selling the carbon part separately so that I can have a spare in the Pit Box (just in case)? If so, how much? |
#35
|
||||
|
||||
just a thought.
would it be possible to to have the alloy machined (less) in such a way as to be able to run the shock tower on the front, then you have the option to run flipped wihbones... As most team drivers do this..

Jez - yes, I sell the carbon part separately. They are £15 shipped.
Dave - that's not the first time someone has asked that. I will look into it. I don't want to add any more weight than necessary. |
#37

||||
|
||||
looking at the pictures, it would possibly mean less machining for you.. I dont think there would be that much weight involved.. cheers Dave

Dave
Out of interest how much weight difference is there between this and the original parts ? Looks like a great bit of work btw

Well, the top end is lighter and the bottom end is heavier. There probably isn't a lot in it, sorry I can't give you any numbers as I don't have a kit standard tower here to compare against. The weight distribution in the Full Option tower is definitely preferable though.
