Hello,

i have a question for the 112 mm shock tower, because my Vorza is landing hard on the chassis on our track. What do you think...can you recommend this or will the buggy fast overturn.

Greetings from Germany

Well I'm still waitin for mine to come in the mail, but I just bash with mine, I heard the are better than stock. U will need the 112mm shocks too. I put the blue springs on the back, and that made a big diffeance

The motot mount hing bar most towards the front of the vehicle will have to be sort of bent forwards towards the front of the vehicle. The cooling fin pattern is wider on the Tekin than on the Torq. NOt taller. Wider along the length of the motor. You will see what I mean when you put it in. Its doable. A bit of a rubiks cube. But doable. Just play with it. Should not have to dremmel anything. Just a slight forward push of the forward hinge.
so...it work with stock mount right? performance wise? is tekin runs hotter?...
sorry too many qs before spending another threes for a esc and motor combo.

Welcome to the Vorza thread Harry!

You will certainly get more travel with the 112mm shocks and tower...but if you are bottoming out on the chassis I would first upgrade my rear pistons to 1.2 instead of the stock 1.3. The increase in pack will help the bottoming out considerably with or without the 112s. If you still want the increased travel then the 112s will get you that.

I run the 112s with 1.2 in the rear with good results.

Ok, thanks. I will try the 1.2 in my towers. Do you know, if the 1.2. are included in delivery or must I order them. Which oil do you drive in your towers?

You have to order the 1.2 pistons from a total different site. Here's the link for them.

Well they priced the Vorsa MSRP 1000$ and most sell them at 600 or so... So maybe take 400 off the original price? I don't think I can afford another car. If I sold my MERV which I won't cause I like the small size i would get the bigger E Revo... together with the Vorza would be sweet! Or maybe the Trophy Truggy Flux? Hmmmm!
