Are there any upgraded shocktowers available for the Typhon 6s? Mine seem to bend quite easily and I can't find any Voltage Hobbies ones.
Thanks in advance

Damn, thanks for your quick answer! Those seem really nice, do you know if they ship to the Netherlands?Hot racing makes aluminum towers for the Typhon but I'm not sure how strength compares to the stock set.
Just Bash It RC makes a set that's 8mm

I think this is a better option for me, considering I mostly drive the Typhon on the local track and trying to make it lighter and more durable at the same time; improving track times ultimately. I've had a few crashes and noticed the shock towers are bent easily.
I could understand that. I'm going off the advice of a good friend as this is my first buggy, as well as my first Arrma. I'm going to bash it, as I do all my RCs, so durability is paramount. My stock ones are still mint, so I'm just experimenting.IMHO the JBI towers for the Typhon are way overkill. It's a 1/8th scale buggy not a 1/8th scale monster truck, they are supposed to be light and nimble not weighed down with 5lbs of aluminum.
Actually, while they look like they would weigh a ton they seem lighter than the voltage ones. And @Notorious J bent one on his Notorious. I'm not super impressed with the ones for my Talion. At least they haven't bent yet.IMHO the JBI towers for the Typhon are way overkill.

Which ones did @Notorious J bend and which don't you like on your Talion?Actually, while they look like they would weigh a ton they seem lighter than the voltage ones. And @Notorious J bent one on his Notorious. I'm not super impressed with the ones for my Talion. At least they haven't bent yet.
I have the JBI rear only. The bend is fractional and can only be seen when using a straightedge. That was on my first run after installing. After my most recent bash, no change.Which ones did @Notorious J bend and which don't you like on your Talion?
