Glad you still like them :thumbsup:

Let me know what Brian Kinwald makes of them :D

Looks good but how do you mount a shock tower with this?

jameswilkinson7 18-10-2010 07:24 AM

You need the DMS shock tower, part number DMS135

Thanks Cream ;)

We really should try and put a package together to put both your mounts and our tower in a bag, as "one purchase" for the customers one day.....

You're right we should.

I've just bought one off you last week. I'd not bothered before as I'm not what you would call a good advert for my own products ;-). Your tower looks great, nice and beefy. :-)

Durango 18-10-2010 01:39 PM

And it would be nice to get the mounts in associated oder Xfactory-blue :D !!

Not going to happen :p, these are stainless steel not ali.

Durango 18-10-2010 01:59 PM

Hm...you should also change the material ;D hehe

Wouldn't it be a good idea to propose the mounts in different materials? Brass, stainless steel for bling-style, aloy...?

One of the reasons they are made from stainless ironically is to keep the price down and the production in house.
If I start having them anodized
1. it adds to the cost as it another process.
2. I have to start relying on other people, which I'm not a great fan of doing.

If I was making 1000's off then thing may change, But as a small production run all cost are kept down as much as I can. Plus I love stainless steel :)

TonyM 18-10-2010 02:36 PM

And having stripped a ball hole on my original K-Factory Aluminium mounts, I really appreciate my Cream Extreme mounts being in Stainless Steel.

SpeedyDad 01-11-2010 06:51 PM

I've got to say again how great these mounts are. I've ordered several sets now and they are just fantastic. I just finished building a carbon fiber front shock tower for my SCX-60 and it came out great using these mounts. I'll post a pic later. Kinwald has a set now too and he likes the quality of the parts.
I'll probably be ordering a couple more sets soon as my son's SCX-60 will get a CF tower soon also and I'll be building another test buggy for him.

I'm not m8,
I'm only doing front bulkheads (B4,X6), rear bulkhead(B4) and the mounts(B4,X6) at the moment. Just recived a few carbon fibre shocktowers of DMS today. So once I've finished the mounts which I'm currently on with, I'll post them up for sale, with or without the tower.

1st kit has already been pre-ordered by a USA team driver :thumbsup:

I've done a couple of other little projects for people on here, But if they want people to know about them I'm sure they will post them up ;)


Thought about rear hangers, but there are already a couple of people making them, which kind of cuts the market share down.

Cream 20-12-2010 08:01 PM

Next batch of mount are ready..
I also have a limited number of DMS shock towers to go with them.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...withcarbon.jpg


Mount as before £11
shocktower £18.39

I am planning on supplying screws as well, but Mr postman doesn't want to deliver them. They will be £1 for a set of 4.

Postage as per first post in this thread..

TonyM 20-12-2010 09:12 PM

Noel - I think I may have your next project. I'll PM you on the SRCC website.

Cream 22-12-2010 12:13 PM

Nice upgrade to the old B4, cheers Noel. Love the finish on the mounts, they really are top notch!

Porkus 06-07-2011 03:33 PM

Cream 19-09-2011 12:03 PM

NEW PRODUCT COMING SOON.:wub

Cream 20-09-2011 09:37 PM

So here it is..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../Alimounts.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...s/IMG_7313.jpg


Little difference at first appearance? First thing you might note is the lack of a pin. Reason being it's not needed and was a legacy of the K-factory mount these are based on.

My biggest concern when I started making these was to make something that didn't fail. To finish first, first you need to finish, and if your steering goes AWOL because of a stripped thread I've fail.

Stainless steel was my first choice as far as strength was concerned. There where lots of mumbling about them being to heavy, But after being put into production most if not all found that unfounded. But, and it's a big but people where still concerned about putting 14g at the front of the car.

That's where these come in, Made from an aerospace grade of Aluminium not only are they light at 4.6g They also have a very high tensile strength, which makes the thread very strong. That along with the tapping method nearly has them rivaling steel in strength. Certainly strong enough to snap your stud before stripping the thread.

The price is the same as before at £11.00

I hope to within the next couple of days also have a new product that is being released by DMS, Which they are calling Flex-carbon. A carbon fibre blend which has all the positives of carbon but with a little more give which reduces breakages. I'll let Darren fill in all the details about that product, but I know he's very excited about it.



Little video for what it's worth :bored:

Nice new part, cool vid.

rednoise 21-09-2011 07:16 AM

New parts!
 
Hi Noel ,

I'm back to you to ask : what about doing this part (stainless steel)???
http://www.redrc.net/wp-content/uplo...goWeight-1.jpg
How much would it cost??
With the new V3 I think you "should" have a Durango hopup parts line in your extremly creamy bits collection!
Also , I have a 210 pre ordered at Lazy , if ever you need some dimensions or something else , do not hesitate to ask!

Have a nice day!
red. (thanks for the link @ RC4Ever!)

Cream 21-09-2011 07:42 PM

So annoyed. Missed Mr postman today so no tower to show you till tomorrow.

Just to fill everyone in, DMS will be announcing a new shock tower probably next week now as I've just pinched all his stock .
Same design as the carbon tower but made from a product they are calling Flex-carbon. Combining all the strength of carbon fibre but with a little flex to reduce impact breakages. Best bit. It's cheaper Costing just £14.69.

Both Darren and myself will be doing the two products together for £24.99

Hope to have pic's up tomorrow. Unless Darren has some already for you to have a look at?

Cream 22-09-2011 08:01 PM

Yay picked up my DMS towers today.
The all new Flex-carbon. Part No DMS173
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...s/IMG_7315.jpg

Here they are all mounted up

and a nice little side shot to show this isn't just a laminate.

Mounts £11.00
Tower £14.69

If bought together £24.99

Cream 12-11-2011 09:58 PM
