Coming soon from Tamiya are the new 2017 body parts set as well as front and rear wings to match. The design of the body is inspired by the 2017 Formula cars and it includes separate side pods as well as a moulded driver helmet. It fits the F104, F104 Pro and F104 Ver.II Pro chassis and, adapted to their suspension layout, many other formula cars. As for the 2017 wing set, the multi-piece kit includes parts for the front and rear wings as well as details such as side mirrors to recreate the design of last year’s Formula cars. The wing set is available in white or black colour and all three sets will hit stores in March.

JConcepts EB410 lower front wing & nose cone

Following the introduction of the new lower front wing and nose cone set for the Team Associated B64 buggy, JConcepts now also have a variant for Tekno RC’s EB410 wheeler available. The lower wing is an option to the tower mounted front wing that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The package includes the lower front wing and the nose cone on the same mould. The nose cone is similar to what would be found on a 1/8th off-road buggy. The lower front wing can be painted, left clear or frosted for the desired look, fit and finish. Recently, 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.

The parts are available separately from now on.

Raceform EB410 wing raiser with diffusor

Coming from Raceform and made for Tekno RC’s EB410 buggy is a high wing mount with under wing diffusor. The translucent part was designed to raise the somewhat low wing mounting area of the buggy to make it usable for most aftermarket wings as it allows for enough clearance for the tyres even under full suspension compression. In addition its design with an integrated under-wing diffusor will create additional downforce which can be beneficial on low-grip tracks or when additional stability in high speed corning is needed. The mount is CNC machined from high-compact polycarbonate, at 8 grams it is both lightweight and strong and its larger surface area also improved wing life.
