I belive that you can. I've broken my shock tower after regular landing (of course in part where are shocks).

Hi guys - due to weather and other priorities, I only had time to run the new 3Racing wings a couple of minutes, but given my poor offroad driving abilities, this was plenty enough to give it a serious bashing (running on 8th scale tracks sure doesn't help either). I am happy to report that neither the wing nor the shock tower show any damage, despite seriously wrong landings and barrel rolls. I have absolutely no idea about aerodynamics, but the car doesn't handle any worse than before, and, as said above, I can't drive offroad to save my life anyway haha.

For like $5 a pop I can only recommend them... they were sourced from dinball, and yes they look ugly, but then again I only asked them to be robust and that design seems to fit my needs.

Hope this helps - thanks all for pointing me to the right direction,

Paul

yup these are the ones I have... and they look like they were designed by a 12-yr old on LSD... but they're holding fine!
