JConcepts YZ-4 SF Aero front wing sets

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF 1/10th 4WD buggy are two new Aero front wings and a single front scoop kit. Mounted above or in front of the front shock tower on the Yokomo YZ4-SF vehicle, the Aero front wing mounts in “clean air” and is quite easy to trim, use and test without sacrificing all important track time. Coming in two widths, the driver can choose either the narrow variant for a lighter feel or wide for heavier down force. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit to the popular Yokomo YZ4-SF vehicle. Also new is the lower front scoop, an option to the tower mounted front wing that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The package includes a quantity of two items for additional use or to outfit multiple vehicles with one purchase. Ryan Maifield captured the 2017 IFMAR World Championship in the 4WD class using this item. Reports from the pit area revealed an increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in the tricky section of the difficult Xiamen built track surface.

Arena 0.5mm carbon fibre touring car wing endplates

Arena RC Racing have released a 4-piece set of 0.5mm carbon fibre touring car wing endplates. While adding visual impact the plates add stability to the outer portion of the wing while still being very light of weight. The endplates are made from high-quality carbon fibre and measure 20x40mm, meeting most governing bodies’ requirements in terms of dimensions, however they may not be actually race legal in your area due to being considered a risk to other cars as well as marshals or the track surface because of their thin and rigid nature. The 4-piece set equips two standard touring car rear wings and it is available now.
