So I think I'm not alone in not being a fan of the way Arrma mounted the rear wing on the Kraton. It has only taken me a couple bad landings on the wing to shear off the screws that hold it to the shock tower. I've seen a few solutions on Youtube to strengthen this but I'm also looking to add a rear bumper/wheelie bar to deflect some of this impact, but it seems like most of them don't stick out far enough to really divert much of the force from the wing, but maybe I'm wrong about that. One notable looking exception is the Tbone rear bumper wheelie bar which sticks out quite a bit and looks like it would give some real shock absorption. Problem is it's out of stock and it looks like Tbone isn't going to make them anymore. Does anyone have a source for this part or have another good rear bumper suggestion to deflect the wing from taking so much of the abuse on a rear landing? I see some people putting the RPM front bumper on the rear, maybe that is worth a shot. Anyone found a great solution to this? Thanks
