ProStar Wing Arms for AE, Mugen & SWorkz buggies

Coming from ProStar R/C and available for many 1/8th buggies with pivot ball front suspension are the front Wing Arms. The unique front upper arms are designed to match the buggy’s stock geometry but they can utilise a 3-D-printed wing element to improve downforce on large high-speed tracks. The front arms are made using a strong and durable carbon nylon mix and the sets are available for the Mugen MBX7, RC8B3 and SWorkz S35 buggies. Custom colours are available to match the front wings with the body’s paintjob.

JConcepts YZ-2 F2 buggy bodyshell

JConcepts’s new F2 bodyshell is soon also available to fit Yokomo’s YZ-2 line of 2WD buggies. The body is a drop fit for the popular Yokomo YZ-2 CA and DT with cut-lines are included on each side of the body to accommodate stand-up and lay-down transmission layouts. Featuring an increased windshield angle a steady force is provided upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while the forward cab placement changes the performance/visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC-chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralise the at-speed handling. The front of the pods have a dual step, scoop treatment which give a first in class look to the F2 body. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also several louver options off the rear which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. The body comes clear, including window masks, decal sheet and two Aero rear wings.
