Default Taller shock towers

Is there anyone making taller shock towers for the Sendero yet or does the taller Axial ones fit.

I'm not sure what he's on about.

Samix makes shock towers for the Enduro that have multiple shock mounting locations - check Amain Hobbies...

It can be done but moderators won't let me share it.

I think we all see your posts, however they don't pertain to the topic whatsoever. Are you attempting to attach a photo? Perhaps use words that address the OP

Anyway, as Durok mentioned there are aftermarket towers with multiple mounting points. Not sure any of them are any taller however. Why taller, are you looking to mount longer shocks?

Actually I don’t think you are understanding what Rccrawler does. It appears they moderate out any mention of a company that is not a part of their pay to appear vendor list. I am just a consumer and not affiliated with any vendor in any way but my comments were moderated out. Don’t you think that moderating our post about parts that have worked for us in favor of only approved vendor words affects the quality of the information one can get from this site?

No I’m looking to lower center of the vehicle

Let me try this post without using a moderated word. Yes, taller axial towers will fit. Use the rear towers from the aftermarket vendor that makes them with 6 mounting holes that are 14 mm taller than stock on all 4 corners. You will need a Panhard Mount so use the aftermarket venders product for a Panhard mount that raises the Panhard mount up 14mm. Move the steering servo up 14 mm by using the aftermarket venders steering servo mount that lets you move the steering servo to be top mounted position instead of bottom. You need to use steering link and Panhard link that are bent in the right way to get the clearance for full travel made by a vender that can’t be named on this site. You can use high clearance links and achieve a 14mm lower center of gravity or use shocks 14mm over stock with full travel and no adverse change to steering or suspension geometry.

I installed aftermarket shock towers to my enduro, samix in the front and IERC in the back, that upgrade cost around 50 USD,
but if I could start again I would choose a better chassis instead. aftermarket chassis includes different shock mount positions,
I notice some great options out there:
GMRC Machete, or DEADLOC dredge or Northwest Scaler Designs scattergun
Chassis upgrade would cost between 50 and 75 USD. I think that the cost-benefit is better on this option

you are right, if they don't pay this site to have their name appear, the Machete Enduro chassis by Gm ......RC is probably the best on the market but RCcrawler doesn't want you to know about it. They don't pay them to appear.

Apparently GMRC pays the extortion fee to appear in post on this site because they don't moderate their mention.

Relax. Your posts were most likely moderated because of your low post count when you started replying to this thread. It’s a common spam prevention method on forums for new users.

That's an interesting bit of information if true. Centennially could change my opinion regarding the reliability of post.

Then there was that thread "is the site becoming dead..?..." one reads between these lines, the answer just might be yes.

I have noticed in my short time here some crawler types seem to be the main topic. Have generally assumed was just what folks preferred.



Think I will keep an eye on this one, not one to waste my time in hyperville,
No thinking person would need to be spoon fed.

Did you get the tower upgrade? Also, I search the net for the upgraded chassis mention. I didn't see it on that mentioned vendor site either? Is is a chassis also intended for other brand rigs?
