Hi people

Recently i broke a front shock tower on my losi XXX. it is a kinwald edition but iwas wonderind if there is any stronger front shock towers made by any other companies.

Also does anyone know where you can get rear aluminium pivot blocks.

the front shock tower on the xxx is quite hard to break, you mean the 'plate graphite' one? where and how did it break?

I think Trinity do alu pivot blocks, check their website, they also do front one too.
