RC10GT Shock towers (Graphite or Fiberglass??)
I just busted a rear shock tower on my rc10GT
I saw that they have a graphite option for the towers, and also a Fiberglass
What is the difference ?
and are they durable?
or am I better off staying with plastic
Thanks in advance!

RE: RC10GT Shock towers (Graphite or Fiberglass??)
if you race, buy 2 graphite towers and double them up on the front and the back.. It might seem over kill, but it makes the truck handle so much better. If you don't race, just stick with the fiberglass, they are much cheaper to replace when they are broken compared to the graphite. This is another reason to double up the towers, they won't break, so in the long run, it will be cheaper.

Graphite is lighter than aluminium with the bending strength of steel. (Its carbon fibre)
