Kraton Broken Wing Mounts - WD40?

[MiamiRC]

So I'm sitting around watching old Kevin Talbot videos while thinking about how to address the fragile wing mount design issue and there is an old KT video on the XMaxx where he takes the A arms and soaks them all overnight in WD40, saying that this softens up the plastic so they bend more but don't break. Has anyone tried this with the Kraton wing mounts to see if it makes them more resistant to snapping? Thought it might be worth a shot? Any opinions?

They break just as well as the original or RPM.
HD = Highly Destructible
RPM = Really Pretty (when) Mangled

Only issue might be using RPM with M2C rear support, would be a tight squeeze. Other than that they all function and break the same.

That doesn’t really seem to be the general consensus on here. The RPM parts are definitely better than oem. That’s not to say they still don’t break, but to say they all function and break the same is inaccurate.

Arms, people like RPM better, but for wing mounts, everything I have seen is RPMs break nearly as fast and don't justify the extra 40-50% cost
