3DRC have further expanded their range of 190mm touring car rear wings by the new D-type wing. Of a more conventional design the wing sports extra flaps for improved airflow and maximised downforce. Dual mounting holes in standard “Protoform pattern” allow to use the 3-D-printed wing in a front or rearward position. Like all 3DRC parts the wing is available through the brand’s Shapeways store or at select model shops.
Adding to RPM’s already released flat and gull wing front A-arms are the new rear arms for the Team Associated B6-series of buggies. With stock A-arms, the amount of slop at the hinge-pins can cause the suspension settings to wander, while the RPM arms are made to stricter tolerances for overall improved precision. In addition the arms are also a lot lighter, saving up to 9.5g in total including hinge pin retaining hardware. The A-arms are made of RPM’s renown nylon material for durability and they fit both the B6 and B6D.
