Some are sold in pairs other sellers sell them individually. At $25.00 I would think that's about the right price. Generally they are around $45-$50 in pairs.

Just my opinion.

If you can I'd send that an get a refund
For $35 you can get a pair of UE knucklehead shocktowers. Made out of stronger aluminum and weigh half of the FLM ones

There really light. I held
Both these and the FLM towers in each of
My hands and the knuckleheads feel like their under 1/2 the weight

Yah I have one set of these on a rig now. The price sure has came down. And yes they are lighter then the FLM. The only reason I like the FLM is they have a wider range of adjustment for diff shock setups. I really wish UE would start putting maxx parts back into production there stuff is about the best out there.
 
He is starting to come back with some of the old stuff. He just released a emaxx chassis. He's talking about possibly bringing back the VBS too
 
35 bucks for the pair

The knucklehead racer X towers are more with the hardware kit. he attached the link for the hardware kit.

The techno Rc tmaxx wing mount fits the FLM also.
 
Hulk maxx was there

Nope wing mount comes with everything except the wing. I think you can get the techno for around $20.00 off of ebay. wings can be had for around $12.00 on up depending what you want. I like the traxxas wings they seem to look better on a 1/10th scale rig like the #4910 maxx truck
 
FLM are the shizzle! UE are.... well... not so much. they require round body posts. They are simply old and outdated design.
 
Guess I was wrong there is some modification, required. Here are some pics. I decided to go ahead and mount mine up for my race Maxx build. You have to drill a couple extra holes. Also, had to grind the inside of the top of the tower to get the shims to clear. Hope this helps.

Man the only way to learn is to ask questions that's what everyone is here for. As for the holes I drilled they are the ones toward the bottom. Its the ones used to mount the bottom plates for the wing mount itself. It is easy to figure out once you get all the parts and to a mock up. As for the body post I would just get a set of the newer 3.3 maxx body post that are square shank they are cheap man prob 5 bucks on ebay.
 
You have a link on where to find the wing mount sites I went to say back order r discontinued
