Korey, what is the latest and greatest shock towers we should be using ? I've come up with three different part numbers and don't know what the difference is between them other then one of them is 3.5 mm thick. Front and rear.
Also what is the part number for the shock o-ring we should be using ?
Have you ever tried Tamiya o-rings ?
Thanks.

If running the upper bulkheads with 4 camber link positions that come in every kit other than the Cyclone TC, then you want to use the 61090, and 61091. If you are running on foam tires, HB offers some lowered versions so you can slam your body down more, you'll want to use 61287 and 67705. These towers are 2mm lower.
If you are running a cyclone TC, or you are running the newest upper bulkheads that only have 2 camber link positions, then you want to run 61287 and 67705. The newer upper bulkheads are 2mm taller, so you need to use the lowered shock towers to get the correct geometry. I personally run this combo.

I have a setup question. what are some things you could try to get rid of a hook. I go around the corner and when I get on the gas the car just wants to spin the way I was just turned. It is not really loose. It just wants to keep going in a circle and not straighten up. This is on asphalt.
p.s. dont let lazerguy see this

Seems to me weight is not really an issue anymore as eveyone has to run extra anyway, unless you are not runnng Lipo.

if all these fails, check your diff.....it may be too tight. please wait 1 second(s) for an uncompressed image, or press Ctrl+F5 for original quality page
I am running diffs front and rear. The rear diff is not too tight. I have softened up the rear a lot. I also added more front droop. I am running 17lbs springs in the front and 14lbs in the rear. It seems like the rear is to soft or not rebounding enough. Like the car rolls over in the corner and the front levels out and the rear is still leaning. Does that make any sense

Yea.....Get a Cyclone You know you want one
That I know of your Xray never hooked before ?????
As you know my Cyclone hooked and the only way I could stop it then and still have good steering was to use a heavy sway bar and lighter springs on the front.
We both have changed many things, I'm not sure what I changed that stopped my hook but I don't seem to need the heavy sway bar anymore
One of the things I changed was I now have more ackerman action then I ever had before.
Guys......Could more ackerman stop an on power hook coming out of a turn????
