Be careful with those rpm shock towers. They flex, and will bend shafts like crazy, especially with heavy oil

I don't recommend aluminum shock towers with aluminum bulkheads either. Aluminum bulkheads are nice, however when you add an aluminum tower, there is no longer a flex point if the truck lands on the lid. I was running flm hybrids and flm shock towers, and had a pretty bad upside down landing. It snapped the chassis off where the bulkhead bolts on. |
yup that was my fear, and I'm pretty sure that the chassis is going to be the next thing that goes/gets replaced on my emaxx, just waiting for it to break first, so I can have that "Holy SH*T that was AWESOME" moment...lol

I put stock shock towers back on my emaxx, sure they snap on a hard impact to the shock tower, but they don't flex. I was bending shock shafts with the rpm towers just by jumping the truck.

I run RPM towers with TRX Big-Bore shocks, TiNi shafts. Never bent one. That flex isn't as bad as you think. Conversely, switch to 1/8 shocks. No more issues.

and I received my tires yesterday...tell me what you all think...I laugh and say they are badass just because of the ridiculousness of them.
have a good laugh and tell me what you guys think, wheels are axial true beadlocks, and the tires are RC4WD. |
Lol. I like the rims. But the tires just don't fit that truck.
