Broken Gearbox case
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi
Looked a simple rollover but BROKE the upper half of the front gearbox:(.
Murhpy's law strikes - I have spare shock tower - not a gearbox.
The material is thin where the holes are drilled for the Shock tower mounting.

I will replace but any ideas of making it less likely to break?
Seems to me that the stronger the shock tower the more of these will be broken.

Cheers Jeff

i seen peple double the shock towers and then break the bulkhead. may have to wait for an aluminium hop-up

I did the same thing at worksop a few weeks ago, The material definately needs beefing up in that area.

I too have broke one of these, but I deserved to. It all depends on the mechanics of the crash.

Something, somewhere will bend or break in a bad crash, if it was a simple rollover, the casing may have been weakened in an earlier shock tower breaking crash. (Judging by how many Mark has had I think this may be the case!!!!:p)

yup to be fair i cracked my front shock tower in on big crash then i did the gear box by hitting a hidden car flat out, not a big car problem to me, my fault totaly
