Kraton Has anyone used these wing mounts?

Well I boiled the HD mounts for 5 minutes and they are now soaking in wd40 lets see it they break after the first run

The EXB’s break, the RPM’s break. The design is flawed on both. I’d love to try a T-Bone Racing mounts, but they’re never in stock and the POS is not an option here in the states. I have drilled, tapped and went with a bigger bolt through the shock tower. I also added a RPM basher bumper to the rear. Finally I built some braces that run through the RPM bumper and attach through the wing. One run on this mod and so far it’s working. Note: no wicked “tumble wumbles” yet; that’s the true test. I’ll run a few more packs through and report back if I remember, lol!

I agree 100%. The design of the wing mount was a carryover from the Team Durango DNX8 iirc. I'm sure it worked fine for racing but for bashing it just doesn't cut it. The T-Bone breaks just as easy as the stock ones do.

I appreciate the feedback on the TBR mounts. I’ll steer clear and stick with the cheap OEM or RPM mounts.

Like I stated earlier ditch the wing and get the Notorious wheelie bar, since I did that I'm averaging 1 Rpm wing mount per year. I usually only break 1 side for some reason always the right one.

I have a TBone in my Typhon but haven’t finished building it yet. Waiting on one a arm

Why did Arrma use team Durango wing mounts?

Why did Arrma use team Durango wing mounts?

It was cheaper to use parts that already existed, the gearboxes and f/r diffs are a carryover from TD as well, and there were some other parts that were the same but I would have to double check the manuals.
