Dimensionally some of those Revolution parts just look like a straight copy of the kit parts.

Both the Cream back block and Cream battery blocks are both made to be larger than the kit items to get extra weight nice and low down.

Hi Noel,
I did speak to you about one earlier in the year at the track after breaking my ac carbon one, I'm in the process of having one machined for myself atm so I want to wait and see what sort of weight that comes out at first ... Hence my curiosity

I do have your front tower though
How are you doing with your 210? Improving with it?

Love the car, But I'm useless. officially the crash tester . Very much on the amature side of the driving ability scale. Not broken a tower yet though

Comparing the rear tower you sent me vs the AC one I had before its quite markedly stronger. The braced design you use just works more efficiently. Also I've switched to a rear mounted shock layout, which also seems to help.
I had been waiting for the RDRP alloy tower since I first saw one, but actually I think the Cream carbon is as tough as I'll need.
