B3 shock tower
Broke my b3s shock tower today. Is the b4s tower similar? Or any other front tower i could use? Even if I have to drill out new holes.....?

I think he's looking for a front tower. Fibre-lyte makes several towers. They pop up on eBay fairly often.

Thanx guys I ordered the thunder tiger xb one today. Should have it Thursday. Going to buy the carbon fiber one next time. Gotta get a brushless rc first.

Just as an FYI, here's a set of Fibre-Lyte towers I picked up for the B3 my son and I are building:

^ I'm planning to go that route also. It took me a while to get my hands on the bullet wing mounts, and now just waiting on the towers

We were going to use the bullet wing mounts, too, but decided to go with these little guys instead:

Re: B3 shock tower
If you're going brushless I'd either get the woven ones for the rear now or buy extras. I've broken quite a few even after adding a wheelie bar like in the link below. It's definitely the weak point on that car.B3rc10 wrote: Going to buy the carbon fiber one next time. Gotta get a brushless rc first.

Ahh raceway, I haven't seen those before. They look kind of like KSG's, just less expensiveaeiou wrote:We were going to use the bullet wing mounts, too, but decided to go with these little guys instead:
