Need advice on which wing kit I need for Revo.

[Philderbeast]

I have a Revo 2.5R, and I want to mount a wing. Problem is, I have a roll cage I am not willing to part with, that being said, do any of you know of a wing kit, or how to build one that will work with a roll cage? I will post a pic of the rear of the mounted roll cage soon.

Traxxas has one now and it looks like it attaches to the bumper mount, can't say for sure, but might be worth a look....

The traxxas one does not mount on the bumper. But it dose have a place on it to mount the rear bumper.

I dont think your going to find a wing mount to work with a roll cage.

With a wing and wind mount and the stock roll bar, the is not really a need for a roll cage.

Whatever you do, do not waste your money on the Traxxas Exo-Carbon wing. Not a good product. Wing will shatter with the slightest bump. Mine lasted less than 5 minutes without wrecking. Comming off a jump, landing on the wheels, the wing exploded.

I have 4 Traxxas trucks and love them all. This is the first Traxxas product that I have found that has not been up to par.

Sorry, I can't help with the mount.

Can you take another picture with some more clarity, I might have a solution, but I need to see it better.

I cannot get a better shot from above...lighting sucks...But here is a better one from behind. By the way, the cage bolts to the bumper mounts and is back roughly 1 inch or so from the body mounts, if that helps. Any advice would be appreciated, thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can take her outside for better lighting if you need the shot from above. Tell me what you need and I will get it.

Well, lets knock out the obvious first.

1. You could just get a body mounted wing.
2. You can cut your roll cage with gaps to fit.
3. Remove the roll cage permanently.
4. Cut notches in the wing mount.

Now, better options:

1. You cut the roll cage, remove the center section where your wing goes, drill two holes in the wing mount, slide the cut piece through the mount and re-weld the bar back to the roll cage.
2. Buy another set of body posts and mount them to the roll cage, this will make your wing sit back far from the body.
3. (This is what I would do) Custom fabricate a wing mount to attach to the roll cage.
