Any chance gorilla would make a cf shock tower?
 

i dunno, CF seems like it would fit the application of making G3 suspension shock towers well. It may also make the G3 suspension lighter than stock.

I will let George answer this. Sounds like a good idea to me.

ya it's not really that important, but i mean the braggin and advertising rights of having this suspension lighter than stock...

george?

I've been asked this before. Basically the problem is structural.

The towers on the Maxx are cantilevered off the bulkheads. This means that the high point has a tough time resisting front to back lateral forces from impacts.

You may have noticed that every generation of shock tower from G1, G2 and G3 the tower has been getting shorter and thicker. This was an effort to limit tower bending or breakage.

CF is lighter but can snap from this type of force. You could go to a double thick tower but then the weight goes up. I like the AL because it offers more shape and profile options (in this case), and considering how small the G3 tower has become, the weight issue is less significant.

My 2 cents

ic cool.

Supermaxx,
I use this setup on my E-maxx. I did alot of bashing with my E before I went dual BL and those cf towers never broke. So far so good. Not sure if they will fit on the G3 or not but they look cool.
