Front and rear shocks tower for HK Rattler 1/8 Buggy

This part serves as a temporary solution until I can confirm its strength compared to the original part. It replaces the following: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/front-shocks-tower-h-king-rattler-1-8-4wd-buggy.html and this: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/rear-shocks-tower-h-king-rattler-1-8-4wd-buggy.html. The two parts are nearly identical, except the rear version comes with a unique body holder component. Fortunately, the original body holder fits perfectly on this new part. This temporary fix is slightly larger than the original due to obvious design considerations, yet it should still fit without any issues. Initially, I created a 1:1 scale model, but unfortunately, it proved too fragile and prone to breaking. As an essential note, screw threads are unnecessary, as your metal screws will create the necessary threading. Additionally, it's crucial to highlight that PLA plastic is not strong enough for this application; it will likely break after the first jump or bump. For optimal results, use a more robust material like PETG instead.
