Losi Help For Southport

[philly]

Hi. Does anyone, either living in the Leeds/Bradford area or going to Southport on Sunday have for sale a rear shock tower for a Losi XXX-CR. (part number LOSA2100) I've tried the local moel shops and they're out of stock. Thanks in advance.

Thats great Carl. Thanks. I'm still trying to get one to fit before I get there, but I'd like a spare as well! Cheers.

does any1 find the losi xx4 front and rear shock towers weak?

do you think the carbon strengtheners are worth buying??

cheers

I dont know about the XX4 but the XXX tower took a fair pounding today before I managed to snap it! I always think the problem with changing to carbon or alloy etc is it just moves the stress further down the line. So the tower might survive a crash but the rear clip or, worse, the chassis might not.

[AndyM]

i suppose, but the main reason i ask is because shock towers cost £15, nd im not really prepared to pay that much every time i hav a big crash.

andy we used the plastic ones half price and stronger, also come see me for xx4 carbon if ur pay that much.

i broke my rear tower at the indoor finals and replaced it with a plastic one for £7

I use plastic towers AND carbon reinforcers. The latest Losi graphite is shite, defo go with plastic!

The Losi Graphite is fine, I ran the same towers on my 4wd for all of last year, I had to change the front one the other week as I pulled the ball stud out of the tower.
