_dV · **Shock towers for bashing -** 01.30.2010, 05:40 PM

I have about 35 or so runs up on my Flux. About 8 runs ago i started getting cuts and scrapes on my ESC wires from the shock tower flexing and it gradually got worse. It seems my shock towers have fatigued. I moved my ESC forward\reversed shock mount bolts and this has helped but i need to replace the towers regardless.

There are aluminium towers available from FLM, Integy, Golden Horizons, GPM and IRC that i am aware off. PRC make carbon fibre towers. I've seen posts where people have bent FLM towers as they are a bit thin on the sides. I haven't seen many comments about other towers except for sometimes the diff case being broken in a hard impact where the tower mounts or body mounts being sheared off.

The driving i do with the my Flux is predominantly bashing and i'm interested in experiences people have had with towers other than the stock for bashing.
