Hey all - just finishing up my first tekno build! My MT410 and it runs beautifully in my driveway without a body (max8/leopard-4074-1800kv) but before I can really wring it out, I need to finish the body. I went with the common pro-line VW Baja bug body, and figured it seems like a common option so maybe collecting any tips would be good.
Anyway - to kick it off, (and my ulterior motive), I think the wing is flimsy as hell. I just see it as a big lever to help crashes do more damage to the main body. So that said, I'm going to leave it off - I did spend more than my normal time on this body, and it's tough, but that flimsy rear end with a. big old flimsy wing bolted to it just says "rip off here" to me.
So TL;DR.... anyone skip the wing and come up with a clever cool finish for the mount points? I don't think it looks terrible, but seems like an opportunity for something interesting.... if nothing else, maybe interesting pegs/sliders for sliding/grinding on the roof side without wrecking the body?
I'm not the greatest driver/racer, but I do appreciate the overall quality of the build and am really excited to run some packs through it.
