Greatly reduce the flex and prevent bending of the stock towers on your Losi Ten-SCTE 4×4 with these new CNC Machined aluminium HD Front and Rear Shock Towers from STRC. They not only add great looks to your Losi 4×4, but it will eliminate the flex in your shock tower, keeping your truck’s suspension operating true to its design and greatly increase the durability. Available in anodized Blue, Red, Gun Metal and Silver.
Carrying over design and material selection from their HPI Blitz and Associated SC10 universal kits, STRC’s Slash 2wd universal kits feature large diameter universal driveshaft bone for more durability against the power of today’s LiPo battery/Brushless motor combo, the heavier weight of short course truck and larger diameter of short course truck tires. They also used the same carbon steel material for axles, which features two sets of universal pin holes so you can get twice the life out of the same set of axles. The universal joints and joint pins are of carbon steel material as well and the pins features a “step” for the setscrew to have a flat spot to more securely hold the universal driveshafts together. Lastly, even the universal shaft roll pin at the end was not over looked. Carbon steel at the pin although strong will unfortunately add excessive wear to the diff outdrives, thus a different material was selected just for the shaft pin for durability and ease of wear on the diff outdrives.
