Thanks! For the part suggestion! It looks like Techno makes an aluminum one for 12mm hexes, just wondering if you have a Teckno part number for the plastic 17mm ones you are currently running.

We've finished up our front tower design--it was a lot more difficult to design the front shock tower due to the different geometries and coming up with a design that would be the coolest looking shock tower at the track that could also race really well

We still need to add in a 4th hole in the rear tower, and here is what the design looks like



Selga! www.segla.biz the designers that did such an awesome job designing the shock towers will be printing out a front shock tower to test fitment We are about 1 week away from the first aluminum prototype, & real world testing

one other idea, a new rear hingepin brace that drops the roll center for the Tekno EB48 and SCT410 line.

the Low Roll Center Inserts appear to be a hot item, maybe doing a hingepin brace that drops the stock insert height as suggested by a few could do the same thing.

That's a super interesting idea I'll need to save up for Tekno to explore these great ideas

This already exists. its made by Holmes hobbies. they are 7.99, and i also did a fast 1/12. rc12l4 project using a traxxas 1/16 bl combo and 3s. was pretty fast.

We're testing the fitting and alignment of the MachoCave Shock Towers today and I just wanted to report back that the Big Bore shocks will fit just fine

Stay tuned as we get ready to carve out our shock towers out of aluminum






Just a reminder that the CF rods will be optional, and that there will be a 4th hole option
