Default What is this used for?

My "new to me" MRX-3 came with a new Racerchoice lola body. It came with these odd parts and no instructions as to what they are used for.

5 lengths of plastic and a bag of rivets. Please see pic...

You dont know what they are for?

The 4 little pieces are the body stifferners & the other is the wing.

The body stifferners need to be bent at the lines marked then attached to the body with the rivets, behind the front wheel & in front of the back wheel. You should know where the wing goes.

No need to be sorry. I'm new to 1/8th onroad also and now I have the answer to one of my "newbness" questions.

There's also a whole article on the Serpent website about how you can use the stiffeners to make the rear of the body slightly wider than the front, thus being more aerodynamic.
