Made them yesterday. These really strengthen the flex observed from the long shock towers while adding very little weight or obstruction to other parts. I was surprised at how much it stiffened the front of the chassis up. Since these won't have torsional strain, I only focused on strengthening in one axis (i.e. backward/forward motion). I used the engines crankcase and spread the load of the brace across the crankcase a bit. Now I don't have to worry about breaking diff cases from the leverage of the shock towers.
When I make another iteration, I will make them prettier and make a few more changes based on my observations.
I used 3/8" aluminum rod, 1/4 20 grub screws, HPI Baja upper ball mounts and aluminum stock for the mounts.
