Xtreme Aerodynamics carbon fibre side plates

Designed using the most advanced CFD software, the new Xtreme Aerodynamics carbon fibre side plates claim to improve car performance on high speed corner. The 0.50mm top quality carbon fibre plate has a profile that allows the optimal flow on the upper side of the wing while cornering thus improving vertical load and making the car more predictable and precise. The external shape helps minimise the side drag effect for better handling in direction change, still maintaining the suction/pressure side well isolated in order to maximise wing performance. Suitable for 1/10 nitro touring cars.
