Not that I know of. Dont worry they will hold up just fine. They are some of the strongest shock towers out there.

If I may ask why did you bother with traxxas connectors just to go into bullets? Why not just direct run ESC to battery? You wanted to add some resistance?

Man what a weekend of racing at the 2014 Ice Breakers at Indy RC World in Garland, TX. I want to send out a big thank you to Brad and Josh Bertrand of Tekno for coming out to the race and competing. A long drive from San Diego. I hope that we made it worth it and cant wait to have you guys back. As for as the Truggy goes I will tell you that there is not a tougher one built. I wrapped it around a steel beam and hung it there and only slightly bent a rear camber rod. I was not the only one to hit the beam but was the only one that did not break. One X-ray shattered and a Losi ripped the front end off, those were just the bad ones. I think that both Brad and Josh were impressed on the durability. I think that we made Tekno proud with the showings that we made with lots of "A" mainers. 186 paid entries a great turnout.

I haven't had any problems with mine but there are ways to protect the towers. Ever looked at the front tower guards on a HPI Vorza buggy, they make some plastic guards that could be adapted. If I was concerned about protection I think I would find some real firm foam like what motors are packed in and carefully cut to fit. I honestly don't think you'll find any thing commercially that will work, just some good old ingenuity.
