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.
