Kraton Aluminium wing mounts

[Isnips1985]

Had the Kraton a few months now and as i've been getting used to the power and the jumps i've broken/bent/warped 2 sets of wing mounts. The first were stock, the second RPM that leave the wing at a really bad an annoying angle. I've just spotted some aluminium ones on eBay but worried that by introducing them it will likely incease the chance of the shock tower bending.

Does anyone else run aluminium ones or have any thoughts? I'd appreciate the input Thanks

They break bulkheads and bend towers! It sucks to replace the broken wing mount... but it’s a break point on purpose.

I uses a GPM wing mount that comes with a wheelie bar on my 6s Typhon and EXB Kraton and so far so good.

Pretty much what i thought then. Maybe when i decide to upgrade the towers i'll do it. Good thing the plastic ones are cheap.

I put one of the Arrma wheelie bars on and thats what broke the first set.

Avoid like the plague. Keep practicing and you won't have to worry about the wing mount because you won't be landing on it ???

I had the integy wing mount and m2c towers, I bent the wing mount like a banana on the first bad landing. There is just no give or flex at all and it bends.
