Default Proline Trifecta wing question

Hey there guys I will be either getting a Kyosho MP9E TKI or a Kyosho STRR Evo 2 when it comes out..and I wanted to know how does the lexan trifecta run on the cars...I have the nitro mp9 tki 3 already and I want to give it a shoot but I want to know what it makes the car feel like compared to the stock Kyosho wing? Thanks guys!

I can't compare it to a Kyosho wing, but compared to the HB wing the Lexan wing made the car rotate quicker and the car was a bit easier to control in the air. I have been very happy with the durability of the it and now use the Lexan wing all the time.

What do the different wickerbills do? Why run one over the other?

There for how much drag/downforce you want, higher the wicker bill the more downforce you will achieve.

I am assuming you are referring to the 1/10 trifecta wing? I make that assumption because you mention the height of the wicker bill to affect the desired downforce.

I just picked up an 8ight T 2.0 e conversion. I came to me with a used wind already installed and a brand new 1/8 white trifecta wing. The 1/8 wing come with two seperate wicker bills that are mounted with included hardware. When mounted to the wing, one protrudes forward from the rear edge of the wing (not a matter of trimming to the desired height).

What is the difference between the shorter (less forward protrusion) vs. the longer (more forward protrusion) with regards to it performance effects. I currently have the larger one installed on the new wing. I also just ordered one to put on my rc8.2e FT. It is easy enough to change. However, I am interested in knowing what I can expect and the purpose of the option?

Anyone have any experience with this wing and 1/8 useage?

Also, are there any differences in the precut clear lexan version vs. the white, black or yellow molded version? They both have the same wicker bills it appears. Is the lexan material just as thick and durable as the colored versions? Can it be painted like a clear body?
