23mm should be good
I never thought about the wing positioning to tell you the truth. I just used the kit set-up and that's where they have it located. Thanks for the tip, I'll make the adjustment tonight.

Also a spare set of dog bones is a must. Some folks are seeing these bend (myself included) due to a flaw in the outdrives on the front and rear diffs. To fix this problem take a dremel and remove about 2-3mm off the inside of the slots in the outdrives.
Also a set of extra set-screws is a must along with (I'd say) any of the screws that go into the bottom of the chassis.
Hmm, I've been running my Nitro RC8B outdoors and have yet to break a wing mount despite some nasty crashes. I'll probably pick one up just in case and that way I have a spare for either vehicle.
Which dog bones are having problems, the center drive line or the dog bones to the hubs/wheels? I've heard the RC8T guys having problems bending their center drive line dogs bones, the front in particular; but I've not had any problems with any of the dog bones on my Nitro version.
Yeah, I have a Tony's screw kit I bought for my RC8B Nitro version. You're right, the screws under the chassis get shaken loose like crazy on this vehicle.
