Any chance you guys could make a tower tower brace?

I'd also be interested in a tower to tower brace. You could create one that's custom fit to your tower designs.

Really liking my Voltage Hobbies servo saver by the way, great design!

I don't recommend the use of a tower to tower brace as it makes the towers and gearbox cases more likely to bend/break under hard impacts/crashes, the reason is most of the energy gets transferred directly to those two parts. I've tested out a tower to tower brace and it does lead to broken gearbox cases and bent shock towers from my testing. Even high-grade aluminum or carbon fiber shock towers are still prone to bending or snapping (it takes a lot more force for it to happen, but it does).

I'm planning on releasing either a full chassis plate that's made from thicker higher grade aluminum than stock or a full-length skid plate that helps reduce the excessive flex of the stock chassis plate. I'm hoping to bring one of the two to market soon.

Excellent, thanks for the heads up, much appreciated.
