You didn't?!
I did buy the PSM front 4mm shock tower but haven put it on yet. The carbon weave and appoxy resin look of high quality...
I did have my first legitimate breakage yesterday, I randomly broke a front cvd, no crash... luckily I had a spare....

I dont know how my second tower broke. I was at a new track and taking it easy. double singling the triple and so on. I few traction rolls and minor pipe tapping. My daughter had a cf tower on her 22 for a year and she was plowing pipe and smashing into crap and it never broke. I am have broke 2 yok tower in 4 weeks.... The CF just seems kinda weak. I will order a PSM to try.

When you get any new carbon parts especially towers, you've got to seal the edges with CA. The first thing that often happens in a CF part failure is delamination. You may not even see it if you're not looking for it. Once it starts, it really can't be stopped.
Ca the parts with thin CA glue, sand smooth and knock off any sharp edges.

Don't feel bad, I had a friend snap a pair of the Yok towers also, seemingly not hitting anything too hard himself.
I've been using the Factory RC towers without issue so far.

Yeah it was pretty good. Trying to get the slipper tight. Was too tight and doing wheelies. Then too loose and had no pop. Also brake settings are critical with a center slipper. But i like the car. Going to glue my sidewalls for ars this weekend. Traction there is stupid

Finally finished building my Bmax4 III. I will be racing on carpet and am using Lee Martins EOS setup. There was a few things that I could not find pictures of for reference, like the cut 15 degree caster block and wheel spacing with the YZ 2 arms on the rear. On the set up sheet for rear spacing it calls for the 6mm hex and a 1.5 mm spacer. After some research I found the YOKBM-011S spacer set is 1.5 mm. The car has full titanium screws and ball studs and weights 1734 grams.
