Hi all, ive made myself a new front shock tower to try, basically gives more front drop and will have more holes for tuning the front end, goin to make a couple from g10, do some testing and if they work off to fibrelyte... Also got some other ideas in the pipeline but would anyone be interested in a front shock tower?

Regards, Tom

I was thinking about a 'shorter' rear hinge pin mount, so that you could put spacers in like on the X-6...

Also some other ideas ill chat to you about next time i see you kev :thumbsup:

Be careful not to loose up travel when you increase the droop ... can make the car aweful over jumps etc!

Desire RcRacing have a several bits coming for this car, towers, some rear end geometry mods etc. From what I have seen you wouldn't be wanting to add weigh to the rear hinge pin mounts .... would loose you a lot of steering potentially ... there is something to aid that in the pipeline too ;)

I wasnt meaning to add weight to the rear hinge pin holder, just making it 'lower' so the height is adjustable thus changing the antisquat... Also some rear hangers kind of like the X-6 ones to make the rear camberlinks shorter...

Also some little mods for the rear wishbones which im toying with :thumbsup:
