Here's the kit contents of the production version.



I hope those people who have already received their towers can post some feedback, hopefully this will end the woes with the kit tower. Last weekend we had an awesome session at the track where the prototype tower again performed as expected. Can't wait to get out there again.

The top layer of carbon has split on mine on the off side down the run of holes were wing mounts go. But other than that so far its been great

That's odd, just out of curiosity did you seal the edges of the carbon with superglue?

No just put it straight on, its not actually all the way the edge if the tower. Just a few mm above the top wing mount hole. I will try and upload a pic. It did it first night I used it and it hasn't got any worse since

Super glue the edges on all carbon fiber parts it will stop this happening
Drop some super glue on a cotton bud then run all around the edges job Done

Always superglue carbon and do more than one layer otherwise it will soak in and not seal it very well, Also look much better when edges are sended down and then glued.

And ill put in a word for how much beating that prototype tower got!!

My son ran one on his (soon to be mine) X2c at the weekend; No problems. It's the nutz!

Are you going to be selling the carbon part separately so that I can have a spare in the Pit Box (just in case)? If so, how much?
