The latest vehicle to receive JCs “Aero” treatment is Kyosho’s RB6 line of vehicles with the wings being available in a wide and narrow variant, allowing for different aerodynamic setups while the fine-tuning can executed by adjusting the trim-able rear gurney section. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while triple wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit to the popular Kyosho series of vehicles. The wings come in two piece packages including either a pair of wide or narrow wings.
