3DRC Formula Aero Wings for 1/10th formula cars

3DRC have introduced their all-new Formula Aero Wings suitable for most 1/10th formula pan cars. They mimic the now wider and lower wings used in Formula 1 and they are available with the industry-standard Tamiya-style mounting pattern or as dedicated variant for the Team Associated F6 – the latter requiring the F6’s lower wing mount. Both come with DRS mock-ups for looks and the universal wing also sports a monkey seat for even greater scale appearance. The wings are tough and durable as all of 3DRC’s 3-D-printed parts, however they are not as sturdy as moulded plastic wings and may crack as the result of very hard impacts. As usual the parts are available through 3DRC’s Shapeways store or at select model shops.

RDRP B64 aluminium differential cases

Available now from Revolution Design Racing Products are aluminium front, centre and rear differential cases for the Team Associated B64 buggy. They were developed to keep the drivetrain as consistent as possible over the whole run. The cases are machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and they sports a heatsink design to further help with heat dissipation. Using the cases not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improved heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff cases come hard anodised for wear and looks and they includes a set of suitable inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits all B64 buggies equipped with the standard gear differentials and they are available separately for the front/rear as well as the centre diffs.
