Default shock tower

do many of you guys brake the alum shocks towers that come on the dex410R? or are they pretty much bullet proof?

im just trying to order everything i need that brakes so i can replace it at the track and don't need to order something.

I think you're better to change the front hinge pin holders to the aluminum ones. You'll need the pillow balls as well.

I've hammered those alloy towers and they definitely don't bend

The only upgrades on my 410R are the alloy front-front brace and the alloy rear gearbox inserts

What do you mean by the gear box inserts are the they back pieces you put in to hold the rear diff in place?

Got my alu shock towers bend in just couple of races...
Did not crash...

Just ordered the carbon ones, with the alu gear box inserts.
Front hinge pin holders I already have changed to alu...

You bent them................................ Without crashing? EH?

I've hammered my car and the towers have battle damage but there's not a hint of bending from the big crashes it's had.
