Selected User Reviews For RPM Front Shock Tower 2WD Electric Slash, Stampede, Rustler, Bandit, Black
As you can see from the photo, this is one of the few pieces I replaced that wasn't RPM plastic parts are almost all of what I currently have installed on my Rustler. There's a bulkhead I think is still Traxxas (I think), and I know RPM is good quality for many applications, so to me plastic is better than aluminum. You wouldn't want to hit someone with one of those aluminum cars because they are easy to scratch and can easily get scraped. For anyone new to the hobby, the RPM plastic bumper would be the first thing I would recommend (or any car for that matter but plastic is better than aluminum). I broke a bone in my shin once when a Rustler went pretty fast. My accident might not have been as severe as it could have been.
Despite the toughness of its plastic, it is also flexible enough to allow for small movements when it hits, making it extremely durable. This means that it will not break in impacts, meaning that you will have more time to bash! In addition to the red, it comes in several different colors, so you can make your Rustler uniquely yours.
Each of our cars has one of these, and we have purchased three of them. Having them on our team has been a great experience. The ring is still doing well for my son after 2 years, and it's been great since he got it. The new parts are far better than the stock ones.
As a result, this tower was much stronger than that included with the Traxxas Rustler. I'm not sure if it made any difference in handling, but I'm guessing it will survive a crash better nonetheless.
I've tried it on my slash 2wd vxl and it works great.
This is an excellent product. An aluminum roof will not bend and will be hard to work on. As an added bonus, the warranty is unparalleled.
Durability and price are both important factors.
The longer these RPMs last, the cheaper I've found it to be to pay more for fewer replacements in the long run.
