Great deal! and not so good deal!
I made a trade in the RCU marketplace and want to send my tornado bb in almost mint condition so i needed a new body,exhaust manifold and front shock tower.I was digging hard finding the best price for those things and found that redcat racing has the cheapest pricing on the bodies. Then nitrorcx.com has the best price for the shock tower and manifold. Look at these differences:
Nitrorcx.com(shock tower): http://www.nitrorcx.com/51c00-06013.html
Redcatracing.comshock tower): http://www.redcatracing.com/itemdeta...?partno=06036B

Those are 2 different shock towers. The one you linked to from Redcat is a much thicker upgraded shock tower. Here is the one you were looking for http://www.redcatracing.com/itemdeta...p?partno=06013

I ordered the upgraded one from my dealer for way less than that. I'll let you know how it is when i get it. possibly tomorrow or the wednesday. it was well under $20.00.

Don't feel bad, I did the same thing. For some reason they do not have the stock one listed for the Tornado BB. I got the link from the Shockwave parts section. Be sure to specify that you want a blue one when you order.
