JConcepts B6 series Aero front wings

Coming from JConcepts and made for Team Associated’s 6th generation buggies are a total of four front wing options. Mounted above the front shock tower on the B6 series of vehicles, the Aero front wing mounts in clean air and is quite easy to trim, use and test without sacrificing all important track time. Available in two widths, the driver can choose either the narrow for a lighter feel or wide for heavier down force. The Aero wing features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options and a radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while triple wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit. The leading centre section of the wing has been formed into a unique V-shape to perfectly outline the front shock tower geometry. The wings are available for the flat and gullwing front shocktowers, making it four options to choose from.

DJ Apolaro to run Capricorn tyres

Italian company Capricorn have announced that US frontrunner, DJ Apolaro will be using the company’s line of tyres from now on. Already part of the US Capricorn team for many years, successfully campaigning their nitro kits, the former Matrix driver will now also rely on Capricorn rubber and he has the following to say about the deal:

First let me say that I am very grateful for all the support from Matrix and Cristian Boni over the years. He has a great product and I made a great friend in him. He has real passion for the sport and knows how to have a good time at the track.

I must say that I am really looking forward to racing with the Capricorn tires. Having been a Capricorn driver over the years it just feels good to complete the circle. Patrizio has put a lot of thought and effort into making a great rim for the highest level of performance. I am excited to have my first event at the upcoming GLC! Please feel free to come by and ask any questions.
