Upgraded bits

[Shannow]

I've just received some new rear shock tower mounts (125000501) from JE Spares and these are stronger items than I originally got with the kits (the original bits were hollowed out for weight reasons I guess). I've snapped these a couple of times at the mounting points when I've got a big jump badly wrong and landed upside down from a great height. I think this problem has been there from the early kits which used to break shock towers instead - now those don't break but the mounts do instead.

It's good to know that they are constantly improving the parts over time - hopefully they'll be strengthening the front lower chassis plate too at the mo (I've got some on order but the shops seem to have none in).

we are working on the car all the time i will put foward the lower plate as i have broke a few aswell it could do with a bit more strength around the bent part

About myself, after a lot of running and a race, I broke this items :

-2 rear wheels
-the screws witch fix the motor plate to the transmission box
-lower front chassis plate
-2 rear hub carriers
-1 C hub
-1 ball stud


That's all. Pretty reliable, I think the biggest problems are the rear hub carriers and the C Hub.
I know there are alloy hop up for this part, but it's quite expensive, and the stock spare are so cheap...

The rear wheels are also a big problem, maybe the kyosho ones are more solide.
