For some reason, the people I know that have Losi trucks have problems with shock towers. I don't know if the XXX-S is the same, but an aluminum one might not be a bad investment.

well there is worse then me... my friend bought his nitro onroad car from his friend, and like he wasnt a newb, but it was late at nite and we were tired, so we went to rc some more, his car tops out at like 75 kmph k, heres the thing. late at night, tired. He forgets to put his antenna up on his radio.. so the thing goes outa range, and crashes at full throttle into a sidewalk.[:@] funny. but quite costly. i feel his pain now . i guess i shoulda drove a little slower, i was used to my 19x2, this was my second time driving my car with the 13x2 in it.. big difference, 4wd, but only the 2 tires in the back balloon when i drive it, so that messes with the handling, it accelerates faster and tops out at higher speeds, which is great, but i should of gotten used to it. Now if only that car wouldnt have been there. DAM PARKED CARS!![sm=punching.gif][sm=bananahead.gif][&o] New shocker tower should arrive by friday for a whole 6 bux[>:] then ill RC in some bigger places

My T4 took a similar trip once.. I broke the same part for the THIRD time that night and I chucked it about 15 feet from the middle of the track over to my pit table. It landed in my chair, which is probably all that kept the piece of crap from breaking something else..
