The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Streamlined Mounting for Maximum Stability! If you've ever struggled with tiny nuts and bolts while trying to perfectly align a rear wing on your 1/28 scale body, the "Wing Things" V2 from Reflex Racing are about to become your new favorite accessory. At Hobby Hideaway, we love these specialized wing mounts because they take the frustration out of body prep. Even better, this V2 iteration is significantly smaller and lighter than the original, ensuring you get a secure hold without adding unnecessary weight high up on your chassis.
Precision 4.0mm Hex Grip The true genius of the Wing Things lies in their simplicity. Instead of fumbling with microscopic needle-nose pliers, these mounts are designed to be gripped with a standard 4.0mm hex wrench. You simply pass the screw through the bottom of the body shell and thread it directly into the Wing Thing. Holding the mount steady with your hex driver allows you to fully tighten the assembly with zero slipping, guaranteeing a rock-solid wing installation.
Lighter, Smaller, Better Handling In micro racing, adding weight to the roof or trunk of your car raises your center of gravity, which can lead to traction rolls and unstable cornering. The V2 Wing Things were specifically engineered to shave off every possible fraction of a gram. By keeping the mounting hardware as light as possible, your car maintains its low center of gravity, giving you the predictable, planted handling required to string together perfect, consistent heats.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
V2 Design: Redesigned to be lighter and smaller than the V1 set, keeping your car's center of gravity low.
Easy Installation: Threads directly onto screws passed up from the bottom of the body shell.
Hex Compatible: Designed to be held securely with a 4.0mm hex wrench for effortless, slip-free tightening.
Color Match: Stealthy black finish to blend in seamlessly with your custom paint job or raw lexan wing.
Scale Compatibility: Perfect for mounting aerodynamic wings on 1/28 scale lexan or hard bodies.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Rear wings aren't just for show; they provide crucial rear traction and stability during high-speed sections and sweeping corners. When using your Wing Things, make sure your wing sits perfectly level before giving the screws that final turn. An uneven wing can cause the car to handle unpredictably on one side of the track. Thanks to the secure 4.0mm hex grip, you can easily make micro-adjustments at the pit table to ensure your aerodynamic balance is absolutely perfect before the tone sounds!
