shock tower mount

[rcyogi]

I just got my car running, after replacing front and rear shock tower mount with auminum ones, hope this cure this problems. Any of you guys have this mounts? and if you do, what will be the next thing to break? Help!

Have you broken the previous mounts?
I must admit they looked like they would be a likely broken part when I was building it as the shock towers seem really beefy in comparison.
So its one of the few spares i got.

I have broken the fron first and then the rear, and have replace both of them now for a Shoorer aluminum on, look good, but Im just concern something else will break.

shock tower is next on the list to break. I didn't buy them for this reason, and it turned out my prediction was correct when one of my friends broke his shock towers after putting them on. My preferrence is to break the shock tower mount. They are universal from front to rear, so if you bought a front and rear bulkhead set, you've already got 2 spares. Secondly, if they just crack in a cart-wheel crash, you can still finish your race as opposed to being finished when the shock tower breaks. I've done this as well. Anyways, just my opinion on the matter. The blue aluminum ones sure do look nice though.

I've seen em on eBay, not there at the moment tho..... http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZs...isetechQQhtZ-1
is the usuall place, i suspect they are a Kyosho part that aint reached the shops yet - I may be very wrong - but there are also graphite shock towers for the ZX-5 and spares for other cars.
