DHK Hobby Wolf 2/Raz-R2/Cage-R wing upgrade.

[biggman100]

This is for anyone who has a DHK Hobby Wolf 2 or Raz-R 2, or the Cage-R, but it will work on pretty much any DHK vehicle if you are looking for a more durable solution. I have even used this wing on a Hunter BL when i turned it into a truggy. You need the parts for the original DHK Raz-R. I came up with this idea after breaking 3 wing mounts (they break right under where the wing sits) on my Wolf 2 in less than a month. In the states, the best place to get the parts from is RCHobbyExplosion.com. Here is the parts list:

DHK Wing Mount and Brace Left and Right, 8381-804T
DHK Rear Wing Rod Long and Short, 8381-806
DHK 3x18mm BH Screw (16pcs), 8381-803
DHK 3x10mm BH Screw (16pcs), 8381-805
DHK 3x12mm BH Coarse Thread Screw (16pcs), 8381-605
DHK 3x14mm BH Coarse Thread Screw (16pcs), 8381-702

You dont necessarily need the screws. I got them because it was easier than digging through a parts box for them, and cheaper than finding them locally.

I ended up having a couple of screws on the original wing mount that are stripped, so once i get them out, i will update with pics showing it installed. DHK Hobby screw heads are a bit soft, so if you overtighten them, they strip easy, and i constantly forget that.

@WoodiE I blame you for this one LOL. Not really, this came about because i can't seem to find a Truggy i really like. I havent done a build since i did my frankenstein DHK Hunter though. Since i already have the Wolf 2 buggy, but I'm not a fan of buggies, i decided to truggy it, sort of. I'm actually making a monster buggy out of it. I am going to keep the buggy body, but add MT wheels and tires from a Redcat Volcano, but to do that, the axle ends, hexes, and pins need to be replaced, because the Wolf 2 has 6MM instead of 4MM wheel nuts. Luckily, before anyone asks, swapping to the smaller axles is actually easy, and only takes a few parts. I am also adding rubber shielded bearings while it is apart. The parts needed are:
(2) 8135-707 hexes
(2) 8135-706 axle ends.
83831-103 Axle pins.
8135-704 Axle nuts (not necessarily needed, but i was out of my spares anyway).
Now I'm just waiting for the bearing kit to get here.

Ill post pics as its being done, and when it is finished, as well as pics of the new wing once its finally done.

Thanks for sharing.

I was finally able to get this finished. Here are the before pics with the original axles, hexes, metal shielded bearings, and stock wing.

Almost finished. I say almost because i still need to drill out the center of the wheels, because they dont sit flush on the hexes.
