ALF1 3D-Printed F1 Front and Rear Wings

Based in California ALF1 Racing Designs has released these new 3D printed 1:10 Formula 1 wings utilise Tamiya F104 style wing mounts, ensuring broad applicability across various chassis platforms. Meticulously 3D-printed using resilient TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) to absorb the harsh impacts encountered during intense race conditions, this material choice ensures exceptional durability and longevity. For critical areas that demand maximum rigidity, the rear side plates and front mount are constructed from carbon fibre infused PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol). This advanced composite material provides superior strength and stiffness, ensuring optimal aerodynamic performance and precise handling. The front wing is designed with a low downforce profile, incorporating strategically placed ‘pass-through’ air ventilation holes to minimise drag while maintaining a modern 2025 F1 aesthetic. The rear wing is engineered for high downforce, generating substantial rear traction for improved cornering and acceleration. Its unique design includes replaceable side wing plates, providing racers with virtually unlimited customisation options to fine-tune their car’s aerodynamic setup.

Revolution Design Ultra Backplate for O.S .21 Engines

New from Germany’s Revolution Design comes this Ultra Backplate engineered to maximise fuel efficiency and enhance engine performance for OS .21 offroad engines. A direct-fit upgrade for all O.S .21 offroad engines, including B2104, B2105, RNX, and Samurai models and their OEM versions, it is manufactured from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and PTFE hard-coated for durability and reduced friction, this precision-designed upgrade extends runtime by up to 30 seconds per tank. The advanced internal design of the Ultra Backplate optimizes fuel dynamics by reducing flow resistance and improving fuel scavenging. When the exhaust port opens, the generated low pressure assists in drawing fuel more effectively through the crankcase, ensuring a smoother power delivery and increased efficiency, particularly in the mid-to-high RPM range. At lower RPMs, the improved flow design maintains a more stable idle and smoother throttle response, contributing to an overall better engine feel and improved consistency.
