Status: offline 		The front shock tower Im using is from Himoto Python XV3 P/N 06058. It can be done using another tower from a tornado. All you have to do is grind off the bottom of the front tower, Get some longer screws, and bolt it up. The rear shocks are just some aluminum plates I made. You will need some longer screws for this mod which I got at Ace Hardware. I bought the BB Pro for all the upgrades, but the towers are weak and I was bored. All the zipties are to serve as bumpers when you go sliding upside down on the street. Better to grind on them than the shocks and head. When you bored with a buggy, step up to a savage. Hen Hen.

Status: offline 		Well I just ordered the Dirt Hawg wheels http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDU13&P=7 and http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDU14&P=7 I also got some hpi rims for them 5 star black http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCEA1&P=M. I also got a new air filter http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMHS9. I have put on the hop up kit with all metal parts a tuned exhaust and pipe and fuel filter. This forum has been great I may have thrown the thing away after 2 days if I did not get the help I got here. I am still learning and all the help is great. I hope to post a picture of the BB once I get all the mods done. I may post one before the tires and air filter.

Status: offline 		If you are talking about the HPI 5 star rims I called tower hobbies and was told that those rims fit the tire. So I hope they fit. I read in another forum that the dirt hawg tires fit the Tornado BB they are for a 1/10th scale car so I assume they fit. I will let you know once I get them. I do not know how to post pics so here are the links to the pics of my car. If someone could tell me how to post pics that would be great.
