Team Associated 7″ pre-cut wing

Team Associated have introduced a new 7″ pre-cut wing for 1:10 scale off-road buggies. The new, higher downforce 7″ wing adds additional high-speed stability over the currently available 6.5″ wing for when track layouts and conditions call for it. In general, more downforce will be desired on tracks that have high grip or a lot of high-speed and sweeping corners. Sold as one clear, pre-cut wing per package. Wing mount dimples are not drilled.

Protoform P63 1/10 Electric TC bodyshell

Protoform have released their latest aerodynamic solution for high-competition 1/10 Electric Touring Car Racing, the P63. This ultra high-downforce, super low-CG aerodynamic body shell was designed with the racer in mind, catering to today’s insanely fast 190mm sedans. P63 is packed with updated features for outstanding performance on the track and ease of mounting while preparing to dominate the competition. Sporting a radical high-downforce design with a sloped hood and cab-forward layout, stiffening hood ribs for low deflection in ultra-light weights and recessed trunk section for low CG and extra stiffness. Sculpted side door panels help increase side-bite while a high flow rear bumper area helps reduce aero drag. The P63 also features the easiest mounting of any Protoform body yet. Returning are their signature mounting marks inside the front wheel arches, allowing you to choose your body positions in 2mm increments up to +8mm. In addition are markings on the hood, decklid, and rear bumper to easily line up your body posts no matter what chassis or rear body post configuration (vertical or horizontal) you prefer. This body is designed to meet Global Body Spec rules and is made in the USA from high-quality, super-durable polycarbonate. It’s available in three weights: X-Lite, Pro-Lite and Light Weight. Included with the P63 are our convenient plastic wing buttons and under-wing “nuts”, with M3 mounting screws. A stylish decal sheet, window masks and overspray film complete the package.

Xtreme Aerodynamics 1/8th onroad rear wing

Following a few iterations on simulation environments and track days for further assessment the new Xtreme Aerodynamics rear wing for 1/8th scale onroad will be soon available on the market. The new wing sees an improved frontal section to provide more downforce with less height, improving driveability and efficiency. Also the edge design has been slightly changed to improve flow on the outside section. Furthermore, different material tests have been carried out to find the best compromise of thickness/stiffness. The new wing can easily replace previous versions as the mounting holes have the same distance apart.
