lol i got that wing seems pretty good but i have not been out and jumped it yet it scrapes down fairly quick when doing wheelis on tarmac i got the wing with the tekno mount as a kit as that was the only way i could get a tekno mount

also it as flipped a few times also i hear the proline wing is really good plus it looks a little bigger than the vantage one they have it in white balck and yellow


want a proline wing if and when my vantage brakes

thanks...i think thats a good bargain cuz the tekno wing mount without the wing is already 24 bucks...i can pay an extra dollar to get a CF wing with it! and plus, if i want a plastic wing, ill have two wings (duh)

I just slapped a proline hi-downforce and a tekno wing mount. It's pretty sturdy, I didn't get to run much after I had it on but it did the job just nicely

yea the J-concepts is really nice, but to be honest I always try to steer clear of anything that requires painting.

1 part wheelie bar/guard, 1 part looks. I do not believe at all they effect the aerodynamics of the trucks at all.

@Danju..Can ya post a link to the one you are talking about, J-concepts has a ton of wings

the vantage cf wing is the same price as the proline wings over i had to get the vantage wing as a kit with the tekno rc wing mount as i could not get the wing mount by itself i have ordered a proline wing now though
