looking into wings...
hi i was looking at some wings for my revo...[link=http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info.php?products_id=1085]this[/link] here looks pretty sick...and its cheap too i think? but im wondering would that CF crack upon impact? ive been doing a lot of jumping and wheelies and i dont think the CF would even survive? im also looking into plastic wings too.

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

RE: looking into wings...
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.

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
