I just don't have a lot of faith in any metal wheelie bar. I've bent a Swami bar on my rustler, and its a thick 3-4mm plate.

Depends how you drive, but launching a 11+lb truck 5ft in the air at 30+mph to land badly or cartwheel on a wheelie bar or any other bits sticking out usually spells carnage after a while. The wing's saving grace is it is soft flexibl plastic so it has give.

Who knows tho? Maybe it will hold up

ohhhh no no no im not going to bash this revo i have road rage itsd lowered and all that im going to convert a savage and have that be my bash truck but occasionly i will bash the crap out of it and i will higher it off road tires and take off the wheelie bar because i dont need it off road very much because its so hard to get clean again theres too many parts to it lol

That looks to be a stronger wheelie bar than the flat designs I've seen. The problem with most metal designs is that when it bends, it stays there. Now, if some sort of very stiff spring were to be used at the bend, or made of spring steel, that should work too. Or maybe make it out of the plastic RPM uses. Something that allows some degree of flex for those rough landings while maintaining enough stiffness to function as a wheelie bar.

But yes, please do let us know how it holds up. I might just use the wing as a bar since others use it and it seems to hold up...

yeh if u go traxxas and go to the threads go to the revo one and go to the galleries and on the last or second to last there a guy with a wheelie bar/wing with four wheels hooked on the sides
