I found the front suspension too soft, even with the 5 holes pistons.
so I built this carbon shocktower, wider than the stock one. I want to check if it jumps better with this modification !

I used 2 integy 2mm carbon sheets glued together with epoxy
I used a rooter for the round edges, then a angle grinder + some filing.
I added epoxy glue on the boarders







looks like a tekno EB48.3 !
or somehow like a 1/10th buggy !

let's see how it breaks, lol. I guess the lower part near the screws is too narrow...

another thing : I summed up all the weight of my components and came to this weight distribution that seems better ( again, with my components ) than the stock distribution
but it's not perfect...



those are the estimated center of gravity of each side
