JConcepts RM2 Clover 1/8th scale wing buttons

Coming from JConcepts’ RM2 brand are the black Clover 1/8th scale wing buttons. In the 1/8th off-road world a securely fastened wing is critical during qualifiers, main events and those all-important long practice sessions. RM2 has a new option available for 1/8th buggy racers that like to do a little more beating and banging on the track. When IFMAR World Champion Ryan Maifield was asked about what detail he is looking for in a wing button, he simply stated, it must be durable, and the flange needs to be large. The JConcepts designers went to work utilising some unique “Clover” styling along with the large flange Ryan asked for. The all-aluminium wing button specifically for the screw-in type wing mounts provide additional stability against landings and hard crashes because the large flange spreads out the force. The machined aluminium design with the stealthy black colour durable outer rim and stylish “Clover” design offers a bit more security over traditional plastic and aluminium wing buttons. The design is lightweight but also durable in the correct areas adding to the benefits to the racer. The attachment area has an already built-in countersunk feature which allows for the cleanest assembly possible.
