Ever have any problems with the screws that hold the 2 pieces together bending/snapping? Call me paranoid but I don't like the 2 piece design really unless it keyed together or something, not just bolt together.

I just broke another rear shock tower, 3rd one in 3 weeks. Not from landing upside down or anything this time either, did a really high jump, landing perfectly flat, but the shock tower couldn't take the stress I guess, must have been weak points in the tower though because it broke in 2 different places, not evenly across. I may try GH Racing towers, I've had good luck with their parts on my Maxx and they use a 1 piece design.


This truck needs some work though, the bugs are starting to come out. The steering setup is decent at best, I need a cam type servo saver setup for it. AE and NewEra both have a setup like that. Also need aluminum shock towers, and on the front arm mounts, I need to put in a longer screw with a nut behind it to keep from stripping out the chassis's threads (which I did to the right front upper arm mount already years ago when it was still nitro). I also need a better servo, this Hitec 645 just isn't cutting it, the truck turns like it's a semi. But other than that, so far so good.
