front shock tower breaking

[rcardoso]

i´m breaking 1 or 2 front shock every race...
It breaks by the upper holes. Are u guys also breaking?
I´m not the only at the track breaking it...

What can i do ?

Ouch that's a pretty expensive break. If your breaking 4mm carbon fiber that's a pretty serious crash.. somebody needs to make an aluminum one

Haven't broke one so far have you tried not driving too fast? Are sure your shocks are not binding?

Something else must be wrong, most of the time a hard impact to the front shock tower should break the front bulkhead not the tower. Is everything on the front of your car standard?

I have noticed that some holes for the shock standoff is very tight. if it is just make the hole slightly bigger just so it slide in and dont have to use force.
And dont overtight the nut.

Jeez!!!

I can't imagine one actually breaking, they're that tough!

I don't think I've seen one go yet, even at worksop, and that surface grips the shock towers when you land upside down.
I landed upside down the first time I raced it there and the shoc tower survived, but it broke the upper gearbox casing, as that was the weaker point.
So I can only imagine they are monster crashes or the surface you race on is a bit strange?
