Graphite or aluminum?
I know there is a thread for this but it is a basic question. I have a Factory team rc10gt, and I have a OS 18 CVRX on it. Was running it down the road today and found that I have managed to break my rear shock tower all the way across the bottom. It was the original graphite peice that came with the truck. Its my bashier and occassional road racer. Any advice what to replace it with? aluminum, graphite, or rear exhuast tower?

Rear exhaust works fine and makes clean up a lot easier if your just a basher. As far as the shock mount the aluminum is a lot more bullet proof and replacing cheap plastic arms is a lot easier[&o]

What rear exhaust is that? I just completed the .18 CV-RX install on my RTR Plus, and am tired of oil all over my stuff (even though Werks fuel does not make too much of a mess). I basically just bash with mine, so looks and performance ar kind of important to me. I currently am running the stock header pipe with the OS tuned pipe (torque tuned).
