hey guys,
i run a Losi buggy, and those stock wings just don't last very long.
first tried these carbon/kevlar wings, (bottom pic) they look great, but the epoxy in them made them crack when bent to far.
the brown all kevlar ones work perfect.
i can get months out of a single wing.
i roughen up the bottom of wing, then i mix Household GOOP & Toluene together, the Toluene thins out the GOOP so you can brush the mixer to the wing.
then add the kevlar cloth and apply another thin layer of the mixer over the top of the kevlar and your done. it dries in ten minutes.
not pretty, but it holds up.
kevlar is real hard to tear, and the GOOP can flex.
you can add stickers to the top of wing to dress it up a little.
