Default Carbon Bits

Hey chaps

I've not managed to get anything done this week as far as the shock towers go...very sorry guys. Also I cannot for the life of me find 4mm sheet anywhere so I'm gonna order up some 3mm next week and go for it with that.

I'll be setting up the designs of the towers this weekend (I'll post them in this thread by Sunday so give them a look and list any changes) and I'll send em up to my bro for CnC next week. Hopefully sometime the week after we'll get all the bits back

I'm sorry for the delay with this I was hoping to get then done and back for this weekend but that's not gonna happen.

J

Try fibre-lyte for the 4mm sheet carbon fibre.

Thanks JCB. I do shop there a bit they used to list 4mm but it's no longer an option. I'll give them a phone.

Here are the Kyosho Towers designs. All mountings are the same and I've added the new rear shock upper mounting holes as you asked. I've also added in more material, less inner structural holes so the towers have a bit more strength.



If you can think of any alterations let me know. Gonna get these sent to my brother for milling soon.

That's all the bit's being CnC'd now.

Dave, I've added on a few of the Monkey bits you asked for so you can have a free spare set I'll see if I can sell on the extras.

Should have them all posted back to me soon so will deffo have them for next race day.

Carl... if you need the Towers before then let me know and I'll post them to you once I get them.
