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.....?

this thunder tiger tower should work.

are originals that hard to find?

There are still b3 towers lasting on eBay. Stock of carbon fiber. I think old rc sot com has some or valkyire ROC motorsports.

Tower hobbies has them in stock.

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

doh, totally overlooked it saying front.

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: http://racewaymfg.com/rs-parts.html

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.

Ahh raceway, I haven't seen those before. They look kind of like KSG's, just less expensive Thanks for the info!
