The rear B44 wing works just fine since you can mark and ream the mounting holes yourself. I have used a few B44 rear wings when I needed a replacement for racing.


The only proper parts to substitute the hex adapters are either the original Tamiya part, the 3rd party direct replacement adapter from Tobee Craft, or the 12mm hex adapter kits from Tobee Craft or Yeah Racing [yup, Tobee Craft makes "2" different hex adapter replacements for the DB-01].

If you need links for these parts, please let me know.
Hey, thanks Dinblum and Migs. I appreciate you help considering that I was very close to making a purchase on all the items I listed. Well it looks like I'll be ordering the rear wing only considering Losi/AE warehouse sells them for less than what the tamiya kit issued wings are sold for. A little disappointing to hear that only the wing is adaptable but I'll get over it, lol. I shouldn't have any problems locating the Tobee products , but I appreciate your offer Dinblum. I'll let you know if i have any problems. Thanks again.
