Default RE: Redcat Racing Rampage MT V3- Let's review UPDATE: 2/24/11...gone...

So, I made some homemade shock tower braces/stiffeners yesterday. They turned out ok. These really strengthen the flex observed from the long shock towers while adding very little weight or obstruction to other parts. I was surprised at how much it stiffened the front of the chassis up. Since these won't have torsional strain, I only focused on strengthening in one axis (i.e. backward/forward motion). I used the engines crankcase and spread the load of the brace across the crankcase a bit. Now I don't have to worry about breaking diff cases from the leverage of the shock towers.
