Active Hobby alloy wing mounts & steel droop plates

Active Hobby alloy wing mounts & steel droop plates

Active Hobby from Japan have introduced a set of aluminium touring car wing mounts and steel droop plates. Starting with the wing mounts, they utilise “diamond-shape” upper plates as well as oval counter plates to sandwich the rear wing and the body’s wing stay in order to improve rigidity and durability at high speeds and in the event of a crash. Two different screw mounting holes in the counter plates allow to easy shift the wing forth and back by 4.5mm to fine-tune the aerodynamics. The wing mounts are available in the four colours of red, blue, black and silver and they include mounting hardware. Also new is a 4-piece set of steel plates to protect carbon fibre touring car chassis in the droop screw area. The 0.5mm thin plates weigh in at 0.8g each, they sport a diameter of 8mm and are best attached using thin double sided tape or CA glue. Using them protects the delicate carbon fibre surface from becoming damaged by the droop grub screws.
