You know the DUH shock towers can use mugen wing mounts. But science the flm shock tower mounts have so many holes can you make them use the wing mounts too.

The FLM are designed for the Mugen wing mounts as well...

I also need to pick up a set of UE Diff Cases to put the 7.5 Diffs in. I talked to Mike and he said he could sell me a complete set.

EDIT: Can anyone get me a link to a mugen wing mount? I can't seem to find one.

cool your are refering to the ones with all the mounting postitions right. How are these towers (FLM) are they good or bad are they heavy do you recommend them over the DUH ones which do you recommend. how do these towers hold up.

Imo, the flms would be a better choice because of the warranty, the weight is similar to a rpm shocktower. Hmm i am not sure where they sell mugen mounts, cant help you there, Josh. Sorry.

yeah do you think a LHS would stock them. and do you think the ti shock towers would be alot lighter or not buy much compared to the flm ones also you said the flm ones are light almost like the rpm ones. so this means they are not much heaver than stock.

Josh 12.25.2006 04:02 PM

I doubt my LHS would have them. The owner is really, well how should I put this, stupid. He overcharges everything. He doesn't know what RPM is, or the difference between a Revo slider or a Maxx shaft.

I might just have to buy the Tekno. Is there anything wrong with it?

GorillaMaxx360 12.25.2006 04:04 PM

no i am not saying at your LHS i want some to i just want to know if at most LHS's they should have them in or can get them. Are they common to find do most LHS's carry mugen parts and cars

squeeforever 12.25.2006 04:58 PM

Not alot carry Mugen parts...Just get them from Amainhobbies.com if Mike doesn't have them...Also, it says on RC-M that the FLM towers only weight 24 grams I believe, so there very light. Yes, I would recommend them over the DUH Engineering towers. Josh, don't get the UE diffs cases...Get the FLM hybrid bulkheads. They incorporate the diff case into the bulks and makes for easier maintance as well as a stronger design. And there only $140...I think there the best way to go...

coolhandcountry 12.25.2006 05:24 PM

The 24 grams my have been for old ones. I think the new may be a touch heavier.
But the newer are stronger I think and more adjustments.

GorillaMaxx360 12.25.2006 05:53 PM

thanks guys

Josh 12.25.2006 06:00 PM

I already have a set of ACNCM bulkheads so I wasn't loooking to buy a whole new bulkhead setup. I'm just going to go with UE diff cases for now. I know that the diff cases on the FLM are already designed into the bulkheads which makes it a lot easier to take apart.

Josh :028:

Sylvester 12.25.2006 06:17 PM

IMO the acncm bulks are made out of a very soft aluminum and tend to break, if i were you id sell them off and get hybrids.

Josh 12.25.2006 06:18 PM

I've come to a conclusion. This will be on hold for a while since I'm in real need of a 1:1. So my Christmas money is mostly going towards a 1986 CJ-7 Jeep.

Thank you all.

Josh, just FYI (not sure if you know). You need Revo knuckles, 3.3 arms, and 3.3 turnbuckles to run the sliders, but its a much better combo...

Im trying to duplicate this mod, but Im not real sure if Im grasping all the different parts to do it. I put together a shopping cart, someone who is SURE, would you mind checking out the contents and telling me if its correct?

Thanks,Joel
