Cheap fix for wing bracing

I have a feeling you will just shear the screws off on a bad landing. All the force will be directed into them. You want it to flex.Cheap fix for wing bracingView attachment 121992
I dug some big holes on a few tail landings today and no issues, but it's seems like that will be how it fails when it doesI have a feeling you will just shear the screws off on a bad landing. All the force will be directed into them. You want it to flex.
If there was a way to make the struts compress on impact so there was some give I feel like that idea might work. Looks badass that's for sure. Like wing struts on a drift car or sumtin.I dug some big holes on a few tail landings today and no issues, but it's seems like that will be how it fails when it does
Nope my notty is going on about the 10th battery, Ive pulled the screws and they are perfectly straightI have a feeling you will just shear the screws off on a bad landing. All the force will be directed into them. You want it to flex.
I think it'd be killer with an tbone or rpm rear bumper. Most deff would stop allot of breakage.Cheap fix for wing bracingView attachment 121992
That's what my Bug has, TBR F/R, I'm sure it'll break one day, but its far over tested as being the best bashing setup I've had to date on these Arrma's.I think it'd be killer with an tbone or rpm rear bumper. Most deff would stop allot of breakage.
If you can do all that I agree. But with my spares and like 5 minutes I have the toughest wing setup Ive ever had on an Arrma. And that's all I we are going for.Just my 2 cents but I would definitely look into finding an alternative like a printed rod out of nylon to help give a little or even some shocks with some printed extensions as rod ends.
I haven't seen a wheelie bar I like so it's me and the wing for now. I would like to see a wing design with more of a rolled edge so it doesn't dig in. We/I are not pros but I treat my stuff pretty rough, above my skill level I'm sure, but I love to tinker and fix, that's my "me time" lol@Jamart85: that looks really solid. the bumper bracket ties into the larger screws under the diff carrier too, right? I like it.
Right now I'm going no-wing in the thinking that the wheelie bar allows for some "rolling out" of tail landing - less of a "lawn-dart" affect where all force is directly applied from ground:wingmount:shocktower. I've sheared off those wing mount screws through the shock tower to the diff case no less than four times.
It made it through the first day of bashing by "rolling out" of tail-end landings. We'll see how much longer it lasts but I think I'm going your route if the wing makes a return...
Yup exactly. Still screws from under the chassis into the diff case. I just had to heat up and elongate the holes so the screw openings line up.@Jamart85: that looks really solid. the bumper bracket ties into the larger screws under the diff carrier too, right? I like it.

Never mind. Took the Kraton out today, somehow I sent the truck into 100’ bumper to wheelie bar roll and snapped the plastic turnbuckles on the brace. Granted the plastic on those turnbuckles is probably close to 20 years old. The wing mounts and everything else survived, so yay for that!Hey everybody! Just got back into RC’s after a few years (decade and a half?) away from the hobby and bought a Kraton EXB a few months back. I’ve been having a “blast” with it, but I too have had issues with the rear wing mount breaking.
I just finished my version of the wing mount support (thanks to some old Traxxas parts I had laying around; see the pic). I was wondering, now that a few of you all have done this, has there been any other breakage/issues with this support setup?
I’m going to run without a wing for a awhile to get away from the “shoveling” that the wing does on some wicked rolls, but I do have a wheelie bar attached. I have ordered an Outcast wing to try as an alternative because it seems a bit smaller, so we’ll see how that goes.
Anyway, I appreciate any and all feedback that I’ll get with everyone else’s experience with this modification!
