Default TRF201 rear wing mount mods?
Perhaps this question says more about my driving that the car.

Am I the only one who thinks the rear wing mount could have been better designed? One rollover and it has come loose. It should not have to be like that. Any great tips for a modification?

like most wing mounts, the plastic can be stripped quite easily. Thats what it sounds like

Before i fitted the 3Racing one, i used to use the Ansmann mad rat ones, they seem to hold their thread longer, and are really cheap to replace.

£3.99 on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310293554593

I used a longer screw and a drop of CA. My wing mounts haven't come loose since.
