I'd say the wing stays can probably withstand about 30-40lbs of force. But that its unlikely a 1/8th scale wing will produce that kind of downforce. I agree that the suspension is not designed to take that kind of force. I know I can easily press on the back of my truggy and bottom it out. I'm running AE 16mm bronze springs in the rear which are rated a 4.09lb/in. The rear shocks are filled with 60wt oil. I'll probably step down to 50wt fluid, the rear can get unsettled in rhythm sections.
