Hahaha I did the EXACT same thing. Sorry to say, only made it two bash sessions. Take your wing right off. After I put TBR wing mount and wheelie bar on and took the wing off, no more wing mount breaks no matter how hard I beat on it.

And if your rear shock Tower is starting to bend like a banana, move the upper part of shocks to the innermost Mount hole.

Does the TBR Outcast wing mount fit Kraton?

 

[Paultro84]

Yes, they have the same stock number. The Kraton and Outcast run a lot of the same parts.

I figured that I couldn’t be the first person that did this. Lol I left the wing on for the first bash at the local track on 6s. But after reading your post I decided to modify the wing a little for the second bash. So far so good. fingers crossed lol. Did yours break the same way as the first time? Not sure how I feel about the looks lol

Cutting your wing down like that should be ok. It's kind of the same as taking it right off. Your wing mount should last a lot longer like that.

Figured smaller wing equals less leverage for twisting.

 

[Paultro84]

That was exactly my logic when it came to removing it. I held my outcast and just simulated it crashing and tumbling and decided the wing was the leverage that was twisting the wing mount till it snapped. I was literally breaking the mount every other time I used it. Now I take it in the woods and roll it down crazy hills and the wing mount is perfect. TBR makes nice stuff. Plus a lifetime warranty is always awesome.

A small tip; screw the wing (no pun intended) all the way then back off half a turn. I use metal washers for coolness and you can also check that they can rotate when turned by fingers. This will help durability.
