Looks good Blackrain" I think you may have posted it, there was a company that made a mount to run a 28 on the Nemesis because I would like to run a Pico 28 in mine. I think it was New Era models but I am not sure.

I just installed the Matrix wing mount on my Nemesis, it's not really made for that truck and it seems kind of flimsy the way it's mounted to the Nemy. I think I will try one of the New Era Models wing mounts.

are you just using 2 screws threw the 2 holes in the middle of the shock tower. if so thats what i did for my first wing mod didnt hold up for long due to the weight of the truck doring roll overs.

That's exactly how I have it mounted...I was thinking of making a bracket to support the other two holes..the way it is now, it won't surrive a roll over

ya when i did it that way i had a hard time figuring out how i could build a bracket that would work, plus didnt have the proper tools at the time. maybe some kind of bar across the top of the tower that the wing can bolt the 2 top holes against

if you cant get it to work all i used is the mugen mbx5t wing mount and a metal plate drilled 4 holes and ran it threw the shock tower. the mugen mount is tough doesnt have all the cut out spaces like the matrix mount
