It wouldn't f#£@ing surprise me.Wonder if TRAXXARSE have the patent??
A 'cease and desist' might explain why we don't see these anymore......

The cat scan has shown up a crack in the shock tower
It's been bent and straightened a few times now so time to replace it I think.
Ahhhhhhh, there's a slim* possibility that I might have completely forgotten to adjust the end points and/or dual-rate with the new Rx/Tx comboAnd happy 1st birthday steering servo

Managed to get a further 2 packs through, hooning about on the local grass tumps and bumps, it was just like piloting an oil tanker.
New 35kg fitted (Amazon special) from the spares bag, see how this goes.
Time for some 7075 aluminum shock towers.So a cracking good bash down at the BMX track, followed by goat curry and Thatcher's cider down @Monsieur Velo 's local pub.
Bit of fixing needed:-
So a few photos
- Front shock tower took a head-on collision with the Kagama. It had to happen at some point I guess, but ouch!
- Rear shock tower picked up a bit of a bend
- Lower front arms are both twisted and buckled - lawn darting is gonna do that eventually!

Following a strip down and hammer-time, all fixed - well the bodyshell fits again

The rear tower
View attachment 5761
That's staying as it is for now - still functional
And the lower front arms:-

Replaced with the HDA4 versions - it's a straight swap, and they're much more beefy (and flat!)

Unsurprisingly the suspension geometry is now better, the driveshafts don't tickle the shock springs, and steering toe is more reasonable

I know it's not actually listed as a replacement part for the Punisher, but fingers crossed, it'll be modifiable to fit. The only obvious difference is a pair of 2,5mm holes at the top for the centre brace. If it works, brilliant. If not, then @Monsieur Velo gets a spare
Yes, the lower shock mounting screws continually backed out of both the front and rear arms on mine. To fix this, I use a blob of super glue at the edge of the screw head, and this effectively locks it into place. Even if you get some in the hex, it can be dug out with a pick so you can get the hex driver in.Oooh. I'd love to hear your report on em. Just this past weekend the lower shock screw came loose again and so I thought I threaded it in right. Nope. It ended up not sitting properly and proceed to break the rear mounting hole. Moved the shocks to the inner hole and adjusted ride height. Seems to be working just fine.
Well, new front tower arrived in the post. I think I'll claim 99% compatibilityJust bought the Kagama front tower
