RPM HD v2 Wing Mounts ARRMA Kraton 6S EXB v2 Oversized Mounts RPM81592

Overview

Introducing the RPM HD v2 Wing Mounts for the ARRMA Kraton 6S EXB v2, the toughest wing mount system ever created for this high-performance RC monster truck. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your Kraton 6S or a dedicated basher seeking maximum durability, these wing mounts represent a significant leap forward in chassis protection and rigidity. RPM has engineered an entirely new approach to wing mounting that eliminates the weak points of standard systems, making this an essential upgrade for any serious Kraton owner in the UK RC market.

The ARRMA Kraton 6S EXB v2 is renowned for its incredible speed and off-road capability, but the rear wing assembly has always been vulnerable to impact damage. Standard wing mounts suffer from leverage forces during hard crashes, often resulting in broken mounts and expensive repairs. RPM recognised this problem and designed the HD v2 Wing Mounts with a completely different philosophy—using a triangulated support structure that distributes impact forces across multiple mounting points rather than concentrating them in vulnerable areas. This engineering approach has proven itself in the demanding world of high-speed RC racing and bashing.

What makes these wing mounts truly special is the attention to detail and the comprehensive nature of the kit. This isn't just a simple replacement for your stock mounts; it's a complete system redesign that includes oversized wing mounts, wing plates, a reinforced rear skid plate, and a massive vertical brace that ties everything together into one incredibly rigid assembly. For anyone running an ARRMA Kraton 6S EXB v2 and looking to maximise durability and reliability during intense driving sessions, these mounts represent an investment that will pay dividends in reduced repair costs and more time on the track or trail.

Key Features

• HD Wing Mounts with Thick Support Material — RPM's wing mounts feature significantly more material between the mounting points than standard systems, creating a tougher and more rigid connection between the wing and chassis. This additional support material absorbs impact energy more effectively, preventing the flexing and movement that typically causes mount failure.
• Integrated Rear Skid Plate — The included skid plate is far more than a simple protection device; it forms the base of a triangulated support structure that creates an incredibly tough system. The skid plate incorporates dedicated mounting points for the vertical brace, distributing loads more evenly and providing valuable protection to the expensive aluminium chassis underneath your body shell.
• Massive Vertical Brace — The vertical brace is the linchpin of this entire system, eliminating the leveraging action that destroys normal wing mounts. By spanning the distance between the wing mounts and the skid plate, this brace prevents the rocking and flexing motion that occurs during impacts on the rear of the wing, dramatically extending the life of your mounting system.
• Two Adjustable Wing Mounting Plates — The kit includes two adjustable wing plates that allow you to fine-tune the angle and position of your wing for optimal aerodynamic performance and handling characteristics. This adjustability is particularly useful for tuning your Kraton 6S EXB v2 for different track layouts and driving styles.
• Optional Wheelie Bar Compatibility — For the first time with the EXB v2 platform, these HD v2 Wing Mounts allow the installation of RPM HD Wheelie Bars (sold separately, model RPM72162). This opens up new setup possibilities that weren't available with the original stock wing mounts, giving you greater control over your vehicle's attitude during high-speed acceleration.
• Engineering Grade Nylon Construction — Each component is moulded from RPM's proprietary blend of engineering grade nylons, selected for its superior strength, durability, and impact resistance. This premium material choice ensures that your investment will withstand the punishment of serious RC driving.
• Complete Hardware Included — All fasteners and additional hardware required for installation are included in the kit, meaning you won't need to hunt through your spare parts bin or make additional purchases to get your new wing mounts mounted.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty — RPM backs each system with their limited lifetime warranty, demonstrating confidence in the durability and quality of their engineering. This warranty provides peace of mind knowing you've invested in a product backed by the manufacturer.

Technical Performance

The RPM HD v2 Wing Mounts represent a quantum leap in mount engineering for the ARRMA Kraton 6S EXB v2. The system achieves its superior performance through a carefully engineered triangulated support structure that fundamentally changes how impact forces are distributed through the mount system. Where traditional mounts concentrate stress at a few critical points, the HD v2 design spreads loads across multiple mounting surfaces and the vertical brace, significantly increasing the system's ability to absorb punishment without failing. The thick support material between mounting points and the reinforced skid plate create a rigid platform that maintains proper wing alignment even during aggressive driving. The engineering grade nylon used throughout the system offers exceptional impact resistance whilst remaining light enough not to negatively affect your Kraton's performance characteristics. This is particularly important for the Kraton 6S EXB v2, which is capable of high-speed runs and aggressive bashing that puts enormous lateral and rotational forces on the rear wing assembly. The inclusion of the vertical brace is crucial to the system's success—it prevents the rocking motion that typically causes damage during high-impact crashes, a common failure mode with standard mounts. For users who want to add wheelie bars to their Kraton EXB v2 setup, these mounts finally make that possible whilst maintaining the structural integrity that makes the HD v2 system so effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are the RPM HD v2 Wing Mounts compatible with my ARRMA Kraton? — These mounts are designed exclusively for the ARRMA Kraton 6S EXB v2 edition running the stock ARRMA ARA320758 wing mounts. They are not compatible with the v5 or older Kraton editions that use ARRMA wing mount models 320347 or 320194. If you own an older Kraton model, you should refer to the original RPM HD Wing Mount System (model 81802). Check your current wing mount model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
• Will these wing mounts improve my Kraton's durability? — Absolutely. The HD v2 design significantly reduces failures caused by impact damage to the rear wing assembly. Standard mounts suffer from lever forces during crashes that concentrate stress at vulnerable points; the triangulated support structure and vertical brace of the HD v2 system distribute these forces across multiple surfaces, preventing the flexing and breaking that's common with stock mounts. Most users report dramatically fewer repairs to their rear wing area after upgrading to these mounts.
• Can I use wheelie bars with these mounts? — Yes, one of the major advantages of the HD v2 system is that it finally allows the installation of wheelie bars on the EXB v2 platform, which the stock mounts do not accommodate. You can install RPM HD Wheelie Bars (model RPM72162, sold separately) to give you greater control over your vehicle's attitude during acceleration and cornering.
• What makes these mounts different from standard replacement mounts? — The key differences are the thick support material between mounting points, the integrated rear skid plate with triangulated bracing structure, and the massive vertical brace that eliminates leverage forces. Standard mounts are essentially direct replacements that maintain the original design's weaknesses. The HD v2 is a complete engineering redesign that addresses the fundamental problems with traditional wing mounting systems, offering dramatically improved durability and rigidity at the cost of a modest weight increase that's negligible on a vehicle the size of a Kraton 6S.
• Is installation difficult? — Installation requires standard RC tools and basic mechanical knowledge. The kit includes all necessary hardware and mounts onto the stock ARRMA chassis using familiar fastening points. If you're comfortable performing routine maintenance on your RC truck, you should have no difficulty installing these mounts. RPM's design ensures that installation integrates with your existing Kraton 6S EXB v2 chassis without requiring modifications to other components.
• What if my skid plate gets damaged? — RPM offers replacement skid plates (model RPM81752) available separately, so you can easily replace a worn or damaged skid plate without purchasing an entire new mount system. This extends the life of your investment and keeps repair costs manageable.
• Are these mounts compatible with RPM's wheelie bar system? — Yes, these mounts are fully compatible with RPM's HD Wheelie Bars (model RPM72162). However, they are not compatible with the ARRMA 1528 wheelie bars, so ensure you use the correct RPM system if you decide to add wheelie bars to your setup.
