Phat Bodies Vee 1/10th buggy wing

Phat Bodies have introduced their new Vee wing for 1/10th scale 2WD buggies such as the Team Associated B6 series and the Schumacher Cougar Laydown. Used by Martin Owen to win the 2019 South West regional off-road series the 165mm wide wing features a low profile rake at the rear section which gives sufficient rear downforce but its lower drag feature, when trimmed to recommended cut lines, ensures low rotation around the rear axle which in turn reduces front end lift common on most buggy wings. In addition the V design aids stability and stiffening ribs reduce flex giving a more consistent feel at higher speed. The wing is recommended for fast high-grip tracks and it is made from high quality 1mm Lexan polycarbonate with a lightweight 0.75mm version being available on request.

ZooRacing 3-piece 190mm touring car wing set

Available now from ZooRacing is their new 3-piece wing set that includes three different design wings to fine-tune the aerodynamics of most of today’s 1/10th scale 190mm touring car bodies. Included are the wing of the ultra-popular DBX/PreoPard/ZooZilla series, the highly-curved HellCat rear wing as well as the new BayBee rear wing, all moulded from high-quality polycarbonate. Also included are a total of six polycarbonate endplates. Using the set comes in handy especially when running ZooRacing’s ultra lightweight 0.5mm bodies that greatly profit from the tougher and less flexible rear wings as they improve overall downforce without adding too much weight. In addition the different shapes of the wings allow to fine-tune the aerodynamic balance if conditions call for it. The wing set is usable with all 190mm touring cars that use a 100mm wing post spacing, they come un-cut and are supplied in clear high-quality polycarbonate material.
