"officially" produced ShockTowers im not sure. At my local track, several people have taken to making their own.
I spoke to a friend the other night, and he bought one to copy and is going to try and produce some on a machine at work out of aluminum. Many of the XXX4 racers are breaking those, so if a tougher material is found, Im sure it would make breaking reduce.

You might ask around who does machining etc. And go from there.

Check out Team PRP's backbone braces for the XXX-4, those might help!

I haven't tried them yet, but the guys that do have them say they work great! I'll be getting a set before outdoor starts for sure.

I use the back bones by PRP. They work great. Concerning the shock tower material.... The towers are mounted on the chassis bulkhead. If the mounts are broken, you must replace the whole chassis. I would rather have the tower give than the chassis. 5 minutes and $7.00 compared to 1.5 hours and $30.00 to $50.00. Just my 2 cents.
