Anyone else have issues with the stock screws that mount the shocks to the tower bending? Any solutions?

Tiny

You want part #FFS006. You will need metric screws to attach them to the shock tower, but I forget the size. I will see if I can dig up the size for you. If you have a screw kit, it's a common size in the kit. Here is a link to the part at CEN's website.

I have these and I have not bent one yet.

Sweet thanks.

If you can find that size that would be helpful too

I am 99% sure the screws I used are M3x8 hex screws. They are threaded so you don't need a locknut on them. On the first one I installed, I used blue threadloc. BAD IDEA. They are on there permanently. The rest I just tightened up securely and check them every now and them.

My screw kit is all mixed up or I would know for sure, sorry.

Generally the shock tower screws for the fun factors and NX series are 3x24 Socket head screws. Unfortunately due to the longer screw, if you go off a really big jump and land wrong, it is possible to bend them.

With any RC Car landing a jump wrong at a really high altitude is likely to bend the shock tower screws. This is not a problem isolated with just the Fun Factor/NX series.

I remember someone doubling up their shock towers, a while back now, seem to think they had them mounted front and back of the bulkheads with a screw running btween, if you see what I mean... that might help a bit. Its gonna happen though, as said above.
