The stock plastic wing does little more than add drag. its nowhere near strong enough and deforms greatly at speeds above 50mph. I ended up replacing my rear wing with a 1/8th buggy wing.

Took a huge hit in top speed, but gained incredible grip at the rear wheels. I also ran into trans durability issues with the power of the 528xr. OFNA warranted it 2 times before saying "no more". The Transmission was a 2spd w/reverse and cost $250 a pop. It also weighed in at 390g, as much as the motor itself. I dropped almost half a kilo off the car just by switching to a center diff.
