Despite the B4 wing mounts being quite flexible in comparison, they are a weaker design.

I doubt you will break a wing mount, maybe pull a nipple off but it really would take a big crash to snap one from my experience.

I think the X6 ones need to be stiffer because if you look at the design they are much longer and are only fixed at one point (albeit by 2 screws) but if you look at the b4 ones they are fixed at 2 points allowing them to use inferior plastics. I think if XF had their style mounts moulded from the same plastic as the b4 ones they would flex a lot and reduce the amount of tuning options we get from cutting/moving the wing.
