Kraton Shock tower replacement

[Gcraider94]

Hey family, I ordered a beefier shock tower for the Kraton, can anyone point me in the direction of some instructions on how to remove and replace the old tower? I really would appreciate it!

Just go slow, take your time and take pics if you need. It’s really pretty simple, you should get familiar with how everything works if your not already.
Don’t be scared!! We are here to help if you get stuck... ?

Is it the front or the rear tower?

super easy man, hope you ordered good towers , i went through 2 different makers b4 i settled with m2c i should have gotten in the first place. but it looks tricky but really its like 6 screws and should only take 15 20 min to replace the tower on be back on the bash again. pay attention to the hinge pins there are 3 plastic shims type things remember 1 thick 2 thin in that order on each side. good luck and if you need help with anything that is why this forum is here man bash on my guy...

Thanks man, I ordered the Integy one this time..... I'm not sure which ones are better, I'm still a noob, lol.... I really appreciate the support and advice here though.

FYI: Integy is poor grade aluminum ?
I’d steer clear of most things Integy and GPM.
Hot Racing is ok...
The best stuff is M2C and Just Bash It, preferably in 7075 ?

 

[Gcraider94]

Thanks for letting me know, I'm gonna see if I can cancel that order and order better quality.....

Don’t get the Hot racing towers either they have a tendency to snap the ears off.
The other HR stuff like steering blocks, rear hubs and chassis braces are good tho!

i ordered these ones now there not integy for say but ill let you make the call lol there like a knock off but the same dimensions and thickness as them but aftera fewdaysof bashing my rear ear snapped i got a replacement sent out and then 2 days after the front tower ear broke off. with that said i don't know how the integy towers will hold up but time will tell. if it happens 2 be that it breaks/bends or something spend the $$$$$ and buy m2c, voltagehobby, crcu, jib, or gka parts. there all worth the money.

Those look like they may have the same potential for snapping like the HR ones.
Due to the shock mounting holes are way too close together. ?‍

they did just that..... pos... i have the m2c towers now and i will most likely never need to buy again. a must have for hard bashing and worry free breakage.

Where can I find the M2C? I don't bash, but I can be a bit careless sometimes....
