Has anyone else tried these since? They're pretty available so I'd be surprised if people aren't running them.
Try a 1/2 oz ballast right in front of servo in chassis & adjust slipper so the front end raises only 1 in.

The gull wings only make for less steering .

Not a bad , but if your looking for steering stay with the flat arm.

This is not true WC.

And it's not actually about how "much" steering there is, it's more about how the steering reacts. People took the gullwings out of the MM because they don't like how it would dump so much weight to the front and then corkscrew the front end with the gullwings. Putting the flat arms on the MM took away that initial edgyness. Putting them on the RM does not take away steering, in fact it gives it more of an aggressive feeling at turn in which a lot of people are looking for in the RM car.

For me the car felt lazy in the corners mid corner with gull wings in the front

Wow, that is so not what I have experienced with the RM car. It has tons of off power initial steering "at turn in" as you call it. What it's missing is on power steering - mid corner and exit steering.

Not sure what "corkscrew" means either. You mean it had too much off power steering?

Well those cheap body clips on the wing, pulled through the wing last night. I cut out a JC wing....and I could not even start the pins in to mount it. So I drilled out the body posts and used wing buttons to hold it on. Not overly happy with the results. Anyone know if AE's revised mounts will be out soon?

For the rear motor they're out. I ordered a set direct from AE and they have more clearance. Blue clips now slide right in.

I agree. I'm going to the wing buttons myself once my parts get here. Just seems like a better way to do it.

"If" JC makes new wing mounts for this, I kind hope that are button style. That just seems to work better with different thickness wings.
