I see the problem,,,,,
The Elcon shockermounts do not have holes for fit the sway bar.
Here in the Netherlands ride nobody with a sway bar on the front and on the rear also.
I think thats te reason that Elcon no sway bar mounts have on these parts.

hi ron
thanks for reply
sway bars are very good and important part of handling with a doubt..

well iv fitted alcon mounts up ok,no probs but the plastic blk mounts i will have to grind/file of where the shock bolt goes thru so they will then fit in between wish bone top and shocks.

it should be ok,then i can slide sway bar link on over sway bar.
my stock plastic mounts have sway bar links added to them that allow sway bar to fit on it !!!
diff to the ones in the pic you show of course !!
all should be ok.
i wanda if there are alloy sway bar shock mount fitting for either top or bottom any where you can buy ??
cheers

Yes, than you needed the lauterbacher shock-absorber-holder for front-lower wishbones of FG Monster when you will have a sway bar mount on aluminum shockholders.
partnumber: 50585A

You can buy them from Krikke rc (neteherlands)
cost 27,95 Euro.

Or from Lauterbacher for 24,26 euro.

I ride my car with no sway bars.
The handling in the sand is a way better than with these sway bars.
Even the race car drivers are not like them.
When you drive on a track with lots of nooks and crannies, the car remains are much better and sends the car better cornering.
On flat terrain will be driving better with these swaybars, but then you drive better a different car.
To make it even better to get, most drivers are driving with CARSON/SMARTECH monstertruck tires on stadium rims FG .
This fits with no problems and the car is wider by the other offset (ET) of these wheels.

Here the vids from the BMC (Bigscale Monster Cup)

hi ron
rc car online.de said that i can use longer black sway bar plastic links like on the rear sway bar which has large hole on one end that would fit over elcon alloy quick release bolts where the shocks bolt on so then i can use that idea instea dof me buying new alloy shock mounts !!
cheers
