Default Front gearbox support

One downside to the lazer is the design of the way the front shock tower is fixed onto the gearbox case. The tower is fastened to thin tabs that can break easily on impact. A way to help strengthen this is to use a tower with a cross brace over the top. In addition to this I have made two small delrin supports that fasten onto the top deck with the two 4mm screws and onto the gearbox with the two upper tower mounting screws.
They may not look fancy but they saved my gearbox case when I have snapped two carbon fibre shock towers and still the gearbox is ok, now I am on my third tower which is 4mm thick!
