That's £30 mate, why not a carbon rear tower ? :confused:

Because I ordered them a while ago and got mates running the car too, so it's sort of for them too.

I doubt I'll be keeping the car anyway.

WOW......after reading this thread I cannot believe racers are breaking sooo much on there 210's :o

I've ran mine (mainly indoors) on a tight track where there is always contact and have yet to break anything! and was at Broxtowe yesterday, raced all day and even had a off at the end of the straight (on the banked corner) and didnt break a thing.....and I aint the best driver out there (my results show this :D) and have my fair share of nose dives, awkward landings etc

Although now I've replied to this thread I'm bound to break something :p

I found a weak spot, the screws that hold the 320123-1. It takes the whole strange of the shock tower. I stripped the threads on both sides, and decided to make it more rigid. I added nuts on the inside of the plastic sides. No need to counter sunk as i did, low profile nuts will fit anyway.

Or use 2mm longer screws to start with. Same with the front shock tower mounting screws need to be 2mm longer.

carbon?
 
i have broken the carbon towers on my cat and cougar, carbon looks nice but breaks easily,. OK my driving is to blame for half of it, but i dont rate carbon for strenth.... at all...

Same here. I stripped one side and then fitted longer screws - all OK now.

I was in DMS Racing yesterday & they now sell their own range of mounts called carbon flex which flex more than standard carbon, might be worth a call to see if they do them for your car :)

TARTMAN 17-11-2011 03:40 PM

cheers, but...
 
I am working on my own ones, with a dremmel and some various materials, just some testing to do and may have a cheap supply made by yours truly!:)

wel ive had 4 rear anti-squat blocks go the rear wish bone pins just tare out of them with not alot of impact done three at the mk gp this weekend not saying im the best driver out there and indoor racing is not that forgiveing but they are made from very flexible plastic.
and the HD ball caps pop off all the time on the 210 and the 410 v3 any one else had probs or is it just my bad driveing lol :woot:

jamiekerr14 20-11-2011 10:50 PM

Im still really confused how you did 3 martin! Me and Mark were both very confused.. I had a ball cup from the front pop off in Q1 and Q2. Think I will do the same to my old 410 and get Losi HD cups and HPi ball studs.. since doing that on my 410 had next to 0 issues.. As the Rango HD ones seem better than the old.. but not by much!:(

Aran 20-11-2011 10:56 PM

My steering turnbuckles kept popping of but rest seem fine. Anyone got part numbers for the losi cups and hpi ball studs?

losichris 20-11-2011 11:01 PM

yep rear anti squat block ripped out ( not much impact) and cups pop off all the time, very soft plastic !!

jamiekerr14 20-11-2011 11:03 PM

Losi HD ball cups with HPI-75115 and HPI-7116 ball studs

I can't say about the 210, but since fitting the HD ball cups to my 410, I've only had them pop off once, and that was in a crash that would've took the entire front end off most cars.

Big G 21-11-2011 01:37 PM

still yet to pop a HD ball cup off on either the 210 or the 410. :)

andys 21-11-2011 01:59 PM

Had a few big crashes indoors with mine, not broke a single thing.
It's certainly a strong car IMO.

AmiSMB 21-11-2011 03:20 PM

Had loads of spares with me for the 210 at the MK GP expecting some breakages and had none. I have already put Losi ball cups on and Schumacher ball studs on the steering :thumbsup:

Any idea on a part number or dimension for the Schumacher ball studs for the steering. Mine ball cup pops off the ball stud at the slightest tap.

Broke my steering rack last week during a awkward landing. replaced with Atomic Carbon version :)
