I know their parts get some funky reviews, but their shock towers are on my list of "must upgrade" for dialing in the Senton. Installed mine and went out today, and was astonished at the suspension gain. For so long I could not find a spring stuff enough for my liking, but with these towers, I was able to greatly reduce spring tension on the Pro Line shocks and get it running much better. It really get the shock in a more upright position and working better. If you're gonna drop $70 on shocks, get this part as well.

I will post more photos and video tomorrow when I retest, but so far I'm stoked.

Ok, so another 6 packs of testing today and I'm sold. If you want to improve the overall handling of the Senton 3s, get these.

For quite a while I have been testing numerous springs from Pro Line and just about every where else, as well as HR shocks, and I could never find the right setting for my needs. My focus was on making the truck handle on short grass, and it felt like I could never get enough spring tension to hold the truck up and still have the suspensions fully active. I tried different shock oils and different internal piston setups, and it still felt like something wasn't quite right.

I gave these shock towers a try in order to get the shocks a bit more upright while still using the far setting on the RPM arm. Right away I was able to raise the shock collar to the top and the cornering control greatly improved. Tonight I'm going to install softer springs and retest, but so far the truck is handling better than ever. I can really dive into a corner without it flipping over due to traction roll ( still happens when going too fast into the corner ), and I can stay on the throttle.

A few more session of fine tuning, and I think I'll be just about there. Truck is running strong and quite fast. Pretty much given up on the deBoots tires.

Hope this helps someone.

Good to know it durable, but does it offer a wider position than stock?
