proline offers a number of thicker lexan wings that are much more durable. Although if you’re killing wings every few weeks then you need driving lessons more than you need a stronger wing.

the problem with having a nylon wing is that you're adding considerable weight up high where it's not intended. Also the higher the weight is off the chassis, the greater potential effect it will have.

ultimately it is what it is. Tekno is going to go with a lexan wing. Maybe if there is enough demand they will do a a nylon version like the 1/8 buggies and truggies get. I'd be willing to put some money on a preorder for that.

Outside of that, look into what sworkz has like this:

Side question on the wing, do we have the dimensions we can get on it or is it just a buggy wing?

It'll be the same wing that's included with the buggy kit.

okay cool thanks. Then the Sworks wing may be an option for those who want a nylon wing. May even see how the LC racing wing they use works out as it was common for LC 1/14 guys to use 1/10 buggy wings too.

Is there anything you can tell us Matt that is something included specifically for the truck that the current buggy version that its based on doesn't come with? (example: CNC hexes, etc)

Is it the same length chassis as the EB410?

Also worth mentioning is that some clubs that race on carpet/turf may restrict to running only lexan wings so not to tear up the track in a nasty crash.

Hard nylon wings can easily ruin the track for everyone else

I like this idea and will probably get one, but imo that pic is a buggy with stadium truck wheels. Please release a real stadium truck body.

I actually much prefer the slim ET48-based truggy body to the 2wd stadium truck bodies.

I wonder if traditional ST bodies fit already?

I've seen several folks run various brands of truck bodies on the ET48, which makes for confusing podium pics at times, ha!

It looks like the rear body mount is too far below the shock tower. Not to mention most ST rear body mounts are behind the shock tower, not in front.

Just a guess but the ET410 should have a longer chassis and arms compared to the EB410.
