Really weak shock towers
 
Hey,

I had a few roll overs and crashes with my hyper 7 the other day, nothing extensive to the point of breakage. But I did manage to put a slight bend in my hyper 7's front shock tower.

Does anyone know of a stronger possibly thicker tower that I could upgrade to?

as this one is far too slim for my liking.

Thanks

some people go for a cheap option and just use longer screws and then double up the standard shock towers, theres also the hobao CNC up-graded shock towers for the hyper 7, I know some people have used hyper ST CNC truggy shock towers as these are a lot more beefier than the 7 ones or you could try these carbon fibre shock towers....................

Not a problem mate, i find that for anything to do with nitro and 1/8th scale best website is maxbashing for all the help and vice versa for anything to do with 1/10th electric oople is the place to be :thumbsup:

Yeah I've kinda found that ;)

plus the gallery kinda confirms that :p

Yeah i use a few different ones, mainly oOple and RC Nightmare. But use TheToyz, maxbashing and modelsport occasionally for selling mostly
