Just got me second set of these and they are just as good the previous ones. Great product Cream. This set will be used to make a CF front shock tower for my SCX-60.

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. :-)

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 :)

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

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.

TO THOSE ASKING ABOUT POSTAGE OVER SEAS........
