[xx4-nutter]

who else thinks the yokomo parts are deer !

£16 for a front shock tower

dissapointing

[PaulRotheram]

maybe get in touch with atomic carbon and see how much it would cost for him to make one

shouldn't this be in the yokomo section, btw?

hehehehehee good thinking batman

haha, I think I shall move it there.

Yea, I had the BC special before, I liked driving the car but spares were really espensive. 23 pounds for a front (and rear) shock tower - since you could only buy them in pairs.
28 pounds for a shell.

Shame really, but I think Yokomo have always been an expensive brand ?? As far back as their original 4wd buggys I think.


At least I don't think there is too much to break on the BX ? it seems a pretty strong car. Maybe someone will bring out a beefy shock tower for it ?

ye i fen oooo kin hope soo lol, i thought of mybe buying 2 shock towers and doublin them up to make the shock tower thicker, thus making it stronger, and obviously buying some longer screws for the top of the shocks to fit through, this is one idea lol, or the other is to stick it out and see how it goes, and drains more of my bank balance lol !!!

I could make a thicker shock tower out of 4mm carbon fibre, but the price would not be much less than the current yok one due to the thicker material, i would guess around £15

If there is interest i will make a batch of 10 off, but i would need a orginal tower from somebody to get all the measurements from, and if any body has photos of broken towers, i can beef up the weak areas.

But i would really need to know how much interest there is for them before i produce any.
