I've just finished doing the 410 wing mod on my 210. I think it will be worthwile on the track given the height it positions the wing. It's right at the top of the tower. Much better position I think. I'm using the lowered Tresrey CF tower. I've attached a couple of pics to compare the original wing mount location with the new....let me know if you have any questions 
Here's a link to the oople thread in which I got the idea:

might try it higher up (second position) but that seems a little bit high up when I first set it up.

I think it may be better to have multiple holes in the plastic portion of the wing mount, instead of in the CF portion of the tower. Keep more material here for stiffness and durability. As you mentioned try to make the mounts somewhat soft so they can give with impact instead of breaking. Also if it matches up with the towers that people already have more people will want your aftermarket mounts 
I see a 3D printed version in your future!

I'm not sure it's a good idea to drill extra holes in the tower, I've snapped a few towers already.

Got some progress made on the rear tower and wing mounts today. Decided to ditch the adjustable mount, too many holes ect.
Moved the wing up 12mm total. Hope to get to the track tomarrow to test.

I think 12mm higher looks abit high for the stock body might look better with a cab forward body maybevtry 8mm

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me diagnose why my DEX210 is running so slow (see video). I own Kyosho, X-Ray, Associated, and TLR, and I've never had an issue building/adjusting the ball diffs as compared to the Durango. I mean, w/ the LRP Flow and Reedy 13.5, I should see the tires ballooning.

The problem isn't the wing. It's up where a wing should be. The problem is modern body design. They are all way too low profile which keeps them well below the rear tower as opposed to shrouding it as they all should. The wing may not visually look as good up there with modern bodies but that's where they work. They do not work down behind a shock tower.

I am thinking about pulling the trigger on a new 2wd buggy and I am looking between b5m and dex210. Have any of you owned a b5m and if so how does the dex210 stack up? What about it makes it better and is there anything that you wish it did that the b5m would do?

Dex210 can go RM4 RM3 MM3 MM4 all parts are included in the kit. Rear shock can be mounted front and rear. can support a Shorty battery stick pack but not a sideways shorty.
B5M is stuck at MM4 but can support a Shorty battery sideways or a square pack but cannot fit stick pack.
Have only had the Dex210v1/v2 in RM3 and MM4.
I would say local parts support/availablity should be your deciding factor.
