Not to say its not a good idea but in my experience shock towers normally crack or have fractures before any delimitation becomes an issue. Besides I doubt super gluing the edges will stop the towers from snapping...
Anybody else?
Thanks Dos.
Do you think it would it be worth using larger washers on the shock mounts and ball studs as suggested on the other thread?

I am hanging for my Motor and ESC to get here so I can take it for a spin
I'm hanging for some spare time so I can actually start the build.
