FLM shock tower wing mount - 03.14.2011, 11:44 PM

Was wondering if anyone knows which wing mount works with the three drilled and tapped holes in the FLM shock towers for the Savage? I've searched and can't seem to find it anywhere.

Also who has used a truggy body on the Savage with FLM tranny forward chassis? Which one did you use and how does it look?

Thank you.

Well the HB Lightning Stadium mount sort of works, but it sits way too low, or almost high enough but only mounted by two screws.

Nobody else has mounted a wing to the Savage FLM shock towers with the holes they provide???? Tried e-mailing FLM twice, that's obviously a dead end.

My suggestion is to use a small piece of either carbon-fiber or aluminum, mount your wing-stays to it with flush, counter-sunk screws, then mount it to the shock tower as high or as low as you want.

Actually the more I think about it I think I'll leave it mounted to the top two holes with only two screws. This way if the wing takes a hard hit the mount will flex or break instead of bending the shock tower, maybe.

Oh yeah and the JConcepts Losi 8T 2.0 Punisher body looks pretty good on it also. I plan on getting pic's of the truck soon.
