The shock mount holes were copied but the tower was lowered slightly as well, due to my shocks all being old school

Re: GoMachV's interpretation of a RC10B1.5 (T2 buggy)
I use a pin router (there is a thread I started here if you search pin router) to make the final. The front for example I double side taped an original tower, routered one side, and refitted the tower to cut the second half. On the rear, I made half a tower with my dremel, then taped and routered, flipped it, and routered the second half. That way the sides are identical. Now that I have a final tower, its as easy as just running a new piece thru the pin router to copy it.
Here is the pin router thread

I like what I see so far. It looks great!
