3D model description

Shock tower protection for the Arrma Typhon 6s V4 and V5.
I've designed these for my dads Arrma Typhon 6S V5 after the front and rear towers would get really scratched and bend when he bashes his Typhon. I started out from scratch and designed tested various filaments and this is the final product made from TPU. I tried PLA, PLA+, PetG but all would shatter on impact or fall of when the buggy rolled. This is version 11 and has had rigorous testing with multiple flips, skids, cartwheels and has stayed on.
These TPU shock towers provide shock absorption which transfers the impact away from the mounts and diff casings resulting in far less tower bends/damage and diff case breakages (my dad is a skatepark abuser hence the titanium chassis on his Arrma) Since the final product has been on his Typhon he has had no breakages when rolling or landing upside down. It tends to bounce a bit.
They are held on with two Nuts and bolts. The front has holes already in the print and the rears just need a 4 mm hole drilled through the indent provided and my dads have stayed on the rear with just a bolt screwed through.
I have printed these on an Ender 5 pro using MicroSwiss DD.
