Coming from Avid are several new carbon fibre wing optionals such as a wing mount brace for the B6.1 buggy and wing buttons. Starting with the wing mount braces for Team Associated’s B6.1 buggy, this Do It Yourself product is a fun mod to create a carbon sandwich on the kit B6.1 wing mounts to keep them from permanently bending after a hard crash. The setup includes everything needed except for the drill.
JConcepts have introduced their new S1 body shell for JQRacing’s TheCar Black Edition nitro and TheE-Car Grey Edition electro buggy kits. First developed for the 2012 IFMAR World Championships, the Silencer has been a mainstay in the JConcepts product line which is available for a number of difference vehicles in the market. The JQRacing buggy has enjoyed a successful run world-wide and JConcepts has now created the iconic Silencer as a drop-fit for the vehicle. For the precise fit, the design has undergone major changes to match the JQ chassis side guards and body mount positioning. The Silencer stance cockpit allows ample room for the air cleaner and fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition and increased flow around the engine heat-sink. A deep recess around the engine compartment with dual channeling out the rear provides air escape along with rear-end stability. The Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tires. The extended runner features are placed on the rear-end of the body enhancing the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over the pipe, fuel tank and electrical / linkage make up the main pods. The end result has the body looking extremely low-profile with heavy JConcepts edginess and appeal. The Silencer is capped off with a cock-pit “shark fin” for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness. The body is available in lightweight and ultra lightweight variants and includes window masks and a decal sheet.
1up Racing have announced the release of their new Tenfold ultra light touring car wing screws. Precision machined from highest quality U.S. 7075-T6 alloy, the pair comes in at only 0.6g. The fasteners reduce weight at one of the highest points of the car which equates to a lower CG and quicker cornering speeds. The screws feature an oversize 16mm outer diameter to ensure even extremely thin wings stay perfectly secure. The use of a 1.5mm hex for installation allows for an extremely low-profile design while offering superior strength. M3 x 6mm threads allow easy installation on most all of today’s popular bodies.
Coming from Xray and made for their XB2 series of buggies is the DIV front wing. Moulded from high-quality Lexan material the wing is of a multi-purpose design, allowing to mount it in front or behind the front tower and thus front axles, with the mounting positions having an influence on weight distribution, centre of gravity as well as downforce. Pre-marked dimples help with easy and straight attachment while different gurney heights help to fine-tune aerodynamics.
Xray have introduced their new ZAP rear wing centre fin for XB2 and XB4 wings. The stylish yet effective rear centre fin was developed to maximise the rear wing air flow efficiency and it fits the Rank and TEC rear wings. The part is made from strong high quality Lexan material and it is available now.

Coming from Xray is the new TEC rear wing for the XB2 buggy. The stylish and effective wing is of a flat design, helping to increase rotation into corners and adding rear traction coming out of corners. The wing is made of strong yet super lightweight 1.0mm polycarbonate material and it features several pre-marked gurney flap heights for easy aerodynamic fine tuning.

Xray have introduced their new lightweight body shell for the XT2 stadium truck as well as extra strong rear wings for the same body. Starting with the lid, it is moulded from 0.75mm polycarbonate material for a low weight and thus a lower overall centre of gravity. Using the lightweight body will reduce body roll in high-grip track conditions for a more predictable handling and faster lap times. The body is usable with all of the truck’s possible rear shock layouts and it comes including window masks.
Avid have announced the release of their new aluminium wing washers designed especially for Kyosho’s 1/8th scale off-road wings. Machined from high-quality aluminium and coming anodised in red, blue or black, the washers will add a little spice to your ride.
