Ive had a hell of a time with my hellfires shock towers. Theres a number of upgrades but i have no idea which one would be worth the money ranging from 20 dollars stock to the 50 dollar upgrade or a 30 dollar carbon fiber part. Heres some links to show you. If anyone has any experience with hellfires please lemme know what you think would serve me well.

http://hpiracing.com/products/en/86587/ theyre "heavy duty" upgrade

http://www.holeshoteng.com/servlet/the-44/HPI-HELLFIRE-CARBON-FIBER/Detail a carbon fiber part though they fail to list the type of carbon fiber but theres a lifetime guarantee and they will replace it once if you can break it they say.

If you are having a hard time with the stockers then go with something else. I would probably try the carbon fiber ones. One of the guys around here has an 808 and it has carbon towers that stand up to some pretty rough crashes.

WHats an 808? ANd what worries me about those carbon fiber towers i found is they dont tell you what kind of fiber they used. Sorry im pretty new to all of this but tryin to do my homework.

THank you voodoo seems like my best bet is going the most expensive route. Save me money in the long run if its as tough as you say.
