Serpent Spyder SRX2 body and wings

Serpent have released some new body and aero parts for their Spyder SRX2. For the RM version there is a pre cut and pre painted body shell in orange, grey and white. In terms of wings there is a front wing set which creates more downforce and grip in the front and influences balance when jumping. Includes clear polycarbonate wing and strong composite wing mount. For their rear there is wider high downforce 7” wing compared to the standard 6” version. For the MM version they also now offer optional lower rear wing mounts which on high speed tracks help reduce drag and influence jump balance.

LMR Avior 2-piece buggy rear wing

LMR introduce the Avior 1/10 2-piece buggy rear wing. The second wing designed by LMR features design cues seen on the company’s Electra wing but now the centre section has been moulded flat so that it can house the 2nd piece of the wing. This small duct wing acts to force air onto the rear gurney when at speed and has proved to make the car feel very controllable at high speeds when sometimes they can feel on the edge. Also the side plates have been formed so they can be much taller, with cut lines to help you choose the perfect amount of side bite for your track. The wing is made from durable 1.5mm lexan material and it is available now.

JConceots 6.6″ Hi-Tension wing

JConceots 6.6" Hi-Tension wing

JConcepts introduce their new 6.6″ wide Hi-Tension wing specially designed for mid-motor buggies. Mid-motor buggies are all the rage in competitive off-road racing and when compared to rear motor vehicles, have a slightly different rear wing placement. JConcepts has stepped up to offer a replacement Hi-Tension wing for drivers utilising the mid-motor option and released a specific wing for the application. The more aft position of the mid-motor wing allows more tyre clearance than normal. The wing also features redesigned the side-dams to accommodate this position and it comes with a flow-through feature in the form of a small angular plane which can be trimmed for a slot which air can pass during racing conditions. In addition, the actual vertical side-dam now has a profiled shape near the bottom, tightening the section and also increasing the stability of the side-dams. Although specifically designed for mid-motor applications, the new wing works also great on 2WD rear motor vehicles as well as 4WD buggies.

Pro-Line Phantom body & pre-cut wings

New from Pro-Lines comes the Phantom design body shell for Kyosho RB6 and Tamiya 201XR/XM cars as well as pre-cut Stabilizer 6.5″ and 7″ wings. Starting with the body, the Lee Martin design item features an all-new cab forward look and sweeping body lines that flow back to a single point. The optional centre fin adds additional high speed stability and finishes off the design of the body. As usual it comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet. The Stabilizer wings combine style, performance and durability, add rear traction and high speed stability and are made from genuine lexan material. They now are also available precision pre-cut to make the somewhat fiddly task of fitting the wing even easier. Available are a medium-size 6.5″ and a large 7″ variant.
