RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon wing mounting solution for touring cars. Developed for serious racers, it is designed to protect the wing, and wing strut in crashes, as well as provide maximum downforce and efficiency from the wing. The “L” shaped design can be switched to left and right to fit different bodies and wing positions, and offers rearward and outer wing chord support. Flexing of the wing in high speed straights and corners can lead to unpredictable handling. This is due to the wing folding back, but also, when the wing folds back the sides of the wing lift up to even further increase the detrimental impact. Our side facing supports minimise this lifting, which also in turn minimises flexing of the wing backwards. This creates an overall more stable wing in every direction! Also included is an adjustable carbon fibre support for under the bodyshell. This clamps the wing and body between two pieces of carbon, providing more support and stiffness. It can be shifted forward or backwards to suit different bodies and wing positions. The set is complete with two lightweight alloy screws and two lightweight alloy nuts to provide a lightweight, stable solution to mounting the wing.
JConcepts have introduced their new Finish Line series radio bags for many top of the line transmitters.

Inside, a high-density, form fitted foam, pre-cut for the radio of choice cushions all sides of the pricey possession. The bag is travel friendly and sized to fit inside most luggage or racing carrier bags. The JConcepts Finish Line logo is boastfully embroidered on the front to showcase this exclusive looking design. The bags are available for Sanwa M17, Sanwa MT44, and Futaba 7PX radios.
