Serpent Rear wing Inserts

Serpent has released this pair of rear wing mount inserts for use with the 1/10th scale Protoform Stratus. Suitable for both the 190mm and 200mm body shells, the lightweight clear plexiglass inserts fit neatly into the wing mount towers and because they are threaded they replace the nuts that come as standard with the body. Once mounted they provide protection from the mounting screw being pulled through the body in the event of a crash. This not only prevents retirements due to the wing coming off but also saves you money, as the wing mounts are no longer destroyed.
