RE: shock towers bending
stop giving it gas while its in the air...lol.....you have control of your rc while its in the air...braking brings the nose down..throttle brings it up....also you dont want to be on the throttle when your landing on the tires it will strip the gears

which rc do you have>???....learning to control your rc while its in the air can be tuff....thing that seems to help me jump flat is to set up the rc to were the rear sits a bit lower then the front...just seems to work for me

your pretty much stuck with stock or hsp (redcat) upgrades....I have the upgraded shock towers on a hsp 1/8th buggy and I like the regular stock shock towers better

RE: shock towers bending
Joey had a problem with his bending, he go the upgraded ones from redcat that are like twice as thick, and it totally eliminates the problem. Part numbers- 166022, 166023
