If its carbon fibre then will it be flat? I ask this cos ive just made one out of alloy as a bit of a experiment. Problem I had was when it was bolted to the back of the mount, I had to place the shocks on the other side of the tower. And this made the shocks catch on the turnbuckles, tried to space them out on the wishbone and gave to much of a angle, also the wing mounts would be set really far back.
I also modified it to fit to the front of its mount, looked a bit better, but had to butcher it to make fit and couldnt be arsed to make another, so didnt really get the final verdict on it. If you do design one, could you incorparate the camber links and add a few more holes so the camber links can be made shorter.

considering I broke 2 yesterday at Broxtowe, yeah I would love to see a carbon version but not a flat one, if it could be shaped to retain the original shape that would be cool, I know a couple of people are using a perspex flat version, but I would prefer to keep the standard shape to save any messing about with shocks and camber links.

Mine seem to break on the ear parts of the tower, ie the peices of plastic that form the part where you would fit the shock mount.

Your more than welcome to have the one thats on the car at the moment, its cracked rather than actually broken.

This is where my son seems to keep breaking his. I did wonder if a horizontal brace across the top would help.

Looks like what you need. Annoyed I didn't spot it when I did my last order from them... only hop-up my X2C is missing now.

As mentioned, that carbon tower will not fit the x2c or mad monkey, its is for the x2 and madrat, the four mounting holes are in different places...
Ive got a carbon tower on my x2c which i custom made, im going to re-design it and potentially sell if theres enough interest, but when i made the first one i had no interest... Got a few other option parts in the pipeline too, watch this space

Its the one item that puts me off running this car much, cant really keep loads of towers as spares, never need to change the tower on the Rat, if anyone can release a better version that would really good and give me reason to run the car more often.

 Cross brace would be a good idea though then you don't need to find some way of stiffening up the back end.
