Shock tower broken

[Tornshadow]

I drove my Traxxas Rustler off a ramp and that managed to break the bottom of the shock tower. Would I be able to put in a new one?

Yes, easily

Yep, quick and easy fix!

2 top screws, one per shock. 4 screws at the base, 2 into the chassis, 2 into the transmission.

Wouldn't the RPM tower be a good upgrade? RPM rear shock tower.

Honestly, I didn't like them on my tmaxx, too much flex. Now a tmaxx is heavier than a rustler so they may be ok on the rustler, but I personally wouldn't use them again.

Billet is okay, but only if you use stock body posts. You want a cheap, easily replaceable, weak link.

If you do that, I would brace the bottom chassis also. Stock rustys and slashes are weak in the rear already.
