Anyone here know any good wing mod for my XB? MCD WING? I want a wider wing if there is any out there? Anyone try a custom made wing?

The MCD mounting holes are a little different so you will have to drill new holes. It is a bigger wing though. I don't think it's as tough as ours. I've cracked one before. The XB wing just bends.

I don't know of any wider than the MCD. The Baja wings are about the same size. You can use spacers on the wing stay instead of drilling new holes.

Here is my XB wing mode, I used a Elcon-Models wing I took of a friends hands.

when you get the wing there is no holes in it so you need to drill holes that will fit your car. the wing is highly flexible.

Compared to the original wing



Testing the Flex.



After flex test:



It's really looking good on the XB

I'm glad you all think it looks good, I do so myself, the wing is about 1 cm wider than the original and thereby gives a much better look. overall I'm happy with this elcon wing and it only took 5 min to measure up and drill the holes.. :)

Just finished the wing, what do you guys think? It's made of 14 gauge sheet metal, roll this thing over everything else will break besides the wing. Should I paint it and who wants one?

Don't get me wrong... I think the wing looks nice... but it's just not wide enough. I want the wing to be as wide as the two rear tires...... can you make one?
