Slightly modified cream tower

This is the set up of my son's car that mattr talked about earlier.

Double cream towers and the 410 raised wing mod.

Let's call it "Cream REALLY Extreme":D

Seemed fairly bullet proof, our astro is very aggressive on the towers, even snapped a carbon one previously, in a not so big tumble.

Noel, potentially your next project. :thumbsup:

Alu wing mounts with a bar across to stiffen it up and a top plate to spread the load across the wing so we don't get those annoying crash dents where the mount fits.

i just popped a "spare" piece of lexan/polycarbonate across the top of the two mounts, maybe 3x4cm under the wing. No more dents.

I also did that and it worked really well. Im going to keep doing it, nice cheap mod to help save a wing

Good idea guys – I think I’ll try a bit of Swedish ingenuity on my wings :thumbsup:
