Arigato

I used the stock towers with braces for

Thurs: practice - 12-10pm
Fri: 2 qualifiers
Sat: 2 qualifiers

They held up VERY well. I took a full speed cartwheel down the straight ending up with a smash against a wood board and nothing happened.

Saturday night I switched over to the diggity towers which held up well for mains day.

I race practically at least once a week at Holeshot Raceway. This picture was from FZRC in Sarasota, a stop for the Jconcepts Super Cup Series.

My durango front front arms would have been ripped off with the same crash. I didn't even pop a ball cup on the xb4. Car flipped over and kept going.

This car is way more durable than any of the other 4wd 1/10s out. Especially if you put the 4mm towers or upgrade kit on.

I'll say it's MUCH easier to drive than a b44.1 or .2. I just have to get my head out of my rear end and DRIVE the car.

I have not broken a thing yet (touch wood) on mine and have only ever run the car with the upgrade kit.

I did upgrade to metal gears in the diff but my choice but I do know other guys who stuck with the kit gears in the diff and have had no issue since the upgrade kit.
