probably, if its down to the material, if not then its the design of the cen towers.

must remember tho, mine broke on a heavy crash and bent a long way before it snapped, not sure if thats clear in the pics i posted, as i bent it back as best i could. rollands sounds like a defect part to me, going by how my fronts coped as well as the rear... considering... my fronts bent about 20 degrees and ive just about got them back straight.

are the cen jt towers thinner than say a 1/8 buggy jt tower? the 7075 seems to be used a lot for this kind of thing btw.
