Ideas for putting on a wing

[suhbliem]

I've been looking around the internet for some ideas on how to put a wing on a t-maxx. So far I have these two parts:

hot bodies wing mount kit:

and a pro-line 1/8 buggy high downforce wing:

I got the idea from this article:

I know the guide is for a revo but I figure it would not be that hard to adjust it for the t-maxx body posts. I use rpm posts and towers so i figure it should be strong enough to withstand some crashes.

I'de like to see other people's ideas on this as I'm sure it's already been done 1000's of times before.

no one has a wing on their tmaxx and wants to share how they did it?

I'd love to put a wing on my maxx too. I'm thinking of just buying a Tekno wing mount off eBay abd throwing a wing from the E Revo on it. It looks like it'd work

New Era has a wing mount and plate:

There are a few problems with putting a wing on a maxx though. At least in that fashion.
1) Towers are brittle and snap easy
2) bulkheads are brittle and snap easy

If I were to do it, I'd get an RPM tower and alloy bulkheads. Then the tower can flex, but the bulks won't break.

However, since the shocks are mounted to the tower (unlike the revo), too much flex will start busting your shocks.
