Kraton New , hopefully, strong wing mount.

Ok so after like four broken wings and mounts, I decided to combine a couple ideas I have seen on here. Here is the finished oroduct

Looks good! Nice job man

 

[Hammer Down]

Well done, but it’s still gonna break...

 

[jkflow]

Seen it as couple times before, let us know how it holds up.

 

[DeeBee71]

Had to take a couple pics with new body, tires, rear bumper and wing mount

Looks good, will the turnbuckles just transfer the impact to the bumper, ripping it off???

 

[DeeBee71]

Probably we will see

 

[Woodentop]

Please report back if it works well, I have a box full of spare turnbuckles

Rear bumper, Can you show the bottom of the rear bumper to see how you mounted it?

I have tested this mod thoroughly. The only flaw is mounting the links to the wing mount. I had to change to make it connect to my Wing. I run this on all my Arrmas and after changing to the flexible wing 0 breakage since. And its been months.

The links I use have standoffs that act as a nice support and give a pivot ball to the joint down at the hinge pin holder.

I have taken a few more pics of the bottom end on the noto and kraton. Just as a note they move 100% freely no binding. If it starts binding youll pop a link off the ball end.

This is what I used, 1x30mm 12.9 m3 caphead. 2 m4 nuts. 1 m4 Rear upper Suspension link. The link in this picture doesn't have the ball link and is a m3 steering link, and not what I use. Just wanted to show concept and the materials used.

Where did you get the flexible wing? I want to print one but I can't find a 6s kraton wing model on thingiverse.

 

[nomis38]

They are just 6s Kraton wings. White and black. I find the noto wing is way to rigid.

He was talking about seeing the mounting of the suspension links in this mod, not the bumper itself. Youll love the mod.

Oh yeah I can snap a pic tomorrow car is at work now.
Sorry misunderstood what he meant...

[trupsy9]

here is my solution...old chassis brace and 2 screws

Pretty happy with this mod. Prevented my wingmounts from snapping.
After bad landing:

Simple snap back in place:

I mounted them to the tbone block on the bottom, drilled and tapped M3 holes. Wing screw holes supported with custom alu plates but now moved to washers to spread the load a little.
Using M3 stainless steel threaded rod from Amazon, a lot cheaper. I bought 110mm long but trimmed to 100mm.

 

[DeeBee71]

I’m done with wings on the EXB. What else can I do body or otherwise to protect shock towers?
any other advice other than stop jumping cause I guess I don’t know how to do it right.
