Titanium Wing Mount Towers
 
I sent off a few emails to moderators for this forum, can someone please contact me about advertising?

http://www.duhengineering.com/rc/img..._towers_01.jpg

I made these for my Proline T-maxx/Dominator Hybrid and then realised they should work on a G-maxx!!! I would like to give a set of these away to a deserving member for review, photos, testing, more photos, and promotion. Who has the hottest Gmaxx on the site?

If G-maxxers don't run run wings, please say so.

You'll want to speak with RC-MONSTERMIKE, I'd suspect an E-mail is in order for him. Gmaxxs can and do run wings if they have the towers to accomodate them.

Oh yea' Welcome to the forums. Seen your threads over at UE, as you have been developing these. Good luck!:cool:

0700 11.20.2005 01:57 AM

Just sent an email straight to him....

Papa 11.20.2005 01:58 AM

That would be the way to go.

RC-Monster Mike 11.20.2005 12:05 PM

Try again, 0700. I didn't get any e-mails regarding the shock tower! Try mike@rc-monster.com
Oh, and send a set my way while your at it! :)
I currently use the nova hybrid towers, but am looking for a tower with more/different shock mount holes(UE shocks are too long to use these towers effectively on a g-maxx with UE suspension). Also, why not simplify the set and only offer the ones with the wing mount? Then, you only have one part to produce. The wing mount won't hurt anything in the front, either.

Those towers see too low for UE shocks? it looks like it is going to be higher as with the UE towers?

RC-Monster Mike 11.20.2005 12:24 PM

These towers are definately shorter than the UE towers. That is the point of them, actually. Keeps the body mounted lower(covers the cells on a g-maxx, or the motor/electronincs on a dominator or similar nitro truck). The UE shocks are long, though, and need a [plae to mount them a little higfher than the Nova Rc towers, or a little further in. They work AWESOME with big bores, though(Traxxas shocks).

Serum 11.20.2005 01:12 PM

Yeah, those bigbores are pretty good, i'm hearing good things about them.

Would these keep the arms about horizontal when looked from the front/rear to the truck?

do the UE springs fit those shocks?

0700 11.20.2005 01:38 PM

There are two sets of towers "Regular" and "Short", both are made for UE shocks, but for different bulks or arms.

http://www.duhengineering.com/rc/img/SM_towers_01.jpghttp://www.duhengineering.com/rc/img..._towers_01.jpg

You would use Regular on any maxx with maxx style arms.

You would use Short on the tall Proline Dom Hybrid bulks.

You would use Short with G-maxx arms.

I wanted a matching front tower without wing mount holes for looks and weight :) As long as they sell it won't matter that there are 4 parts instead of two :W:

UE springs do not fit big bores, but lundsford do.

Serum 11.20.2005 01:43 PM

what is the big advantage of these over the UE's? (exept for the wing mount?)

0700 11.20.2005 01:50 PM

The wing mount IS the big advantage.
They are much lighter than other wing mount maxx towers.
The wing is much lower than other wing mount maxx towers.
Nobody alse makes wing mount hybrid or Gmaxx towers.

And most of all they match my ti skids and chassis!!!!!!
:Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love:

Serum 11.20.2005 01:51 PM

LOL!

got pics of that skid/chassis?

0700 11.20.2005 01:57 PM

I'm using the HCR small block pro chassis and skids, but want to move to VBS-Towerless-Ti skids

Serum 11.20.2005 02:02 PM

okay, cool! you allready got the VBS towerless?

0700 11.20.2005 02:04 PM

No I "WANT" them :C:

Just missed a set in the UE BST for $360 :cry

Serum 11.20.2005 02:06 PM

With diffs? that is a bargain!!

Nick 11.20.2005 02:45 PM

Wow, where did you get the invisible chassis from? :eek:

The towers look really good, can I ask, how do wings attach to them? Any example pictures?

0700 11.20.2005 02:57 PM

I knowwwwww!!!

Dafni 11.21.2005 02:50 AM

I would be interested in a set of those short ones.

0700 11.21.2005 10:17 AM

How sick and shiny is your gmaxx? or do you want to buy a set?

buy a set

Dafni 11.21.2005 10:22 AM

My GMaxx is not too sick, and it's not shiny anymore ;)
I think I buy a set, though. I will ask Mike if he can order a set for me, he's my oversea agent. (once a month a big box, saves shipping costs)

Serum 11.21.2005 02:14 PM

Depends on the size of your container Daniel...

Dafni 11.21.2005 02:26 PM

:D Yeah, Rene, you got it right. Gotta keep them airlines bu-sy!

And I permanently rent a patch of one particular basement ;)

toby 11.24.2005 09:15 PM

Has anyone bought or tested these yet? they are very interesting. wouldn't mind a set for my future racer.

Sylvester 11.24.2005 09:57 PM

Mikes gonna get a pair and test them out.

rchippie 11.24.2005 11:09 PM

0700 I went to your web site the stuff you make looks incredable.

Sylvester 11.25.2005 10:44 AM

Yes, i agree, but it looks a little, pricey, but than again, what isnt?

Serum 11.25.2005 10:47 AM

yeah 0700! respect for what you make!

Titanium is'nt a cheap metal to get, remember quality costs :D .

Sylvester 11.25.2005 11:04 AM

Yes, i know, thats right , it does cost, and quality is the # 1 quality coster:p , look at UE, their suspension is over 500$ and there is not even that much aluminum. But than again it is made out of T-7075 aluminum , but still.

Serum 11.25.2005 11:07 AM

and for 440 dollars you get 4 knuckles and the shocktowers too.. and titanium hingepins etc etc.. I think UE is relative fair priced..

If you buy a set of gmaxx arms (6061), and you want to buy a set of UE knuckles to make them complete, you lost about the same amount of money.. All and all, i think UE has got a desent price.

0700 11.25.2005 11:21 AM

Yeah titanium is 4-5x normal price right now, so the things I make are pricey even after I discount them...

rchippie 11.25.2005 11:40 AM

I'm very impressed your products they look incredable.

Sylvester 11.25.2005 11:59 AM

i also , think your products look amazing, great job, now i wonder if they can take a beating?

0700 11.25.2005 12:10 PM

Too bad their mostly OFNA...If I sold Revo stuff I'd be rich..
