I researched it and you will have to grind the nubs off and drill a hole. And screw them in. I dont know if I want to do that because it would seem too stiff with no give and then cause compromise to the wing mounts.
Seems to me you are just transferring the point of compromise to the wing mounts, but they sure do add style points!

I cut the nubs off my B5m wing mount and used screws. I didn't experience any adverse effects with the mounts and I usually jump nose high and land on the wing lol!

When I look up the flat front arms it says to use the regular shock tower. What is the mystery "flat" front shock tower. Is it the b5r tower?

Here is what I did. It's the proline hold downs and the trifecta wing. Has taken a few decent crashes and held up fine so far

I broke a wing mount after only a few races. I would love a stronger solution.
