3DRC touring car wing button set

3DRC from Germany have introduced their new 3-D-printed touring car wing button set. Included are aerodynamically-shaped wing buttons, 3 degree wedges and large surface 5.5mm nuts. The whole set weighs in at only 1.5g and it us thus perfect for the use with lightweight body shell. Using the optional angled shims will give the wing a larger attack angle and more downforce, resulting in increased rear end grip especially on low grip tracks. The set is usable with most of today’s competition touring car body shells and needed for completion are two M3x8mm flathead screws.

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.

JConcepts Aero & Aero S-type rear wing centre dividers

JConcepts have introduced their new Aero and Aero S-type rear wing centre dividers. The dividers are simple, yet effective and together with wings like the Aero, can provide additional stability and performance needed. Each centre divider has built-in adjustments that allow the driver to alter the height in order to match conditions at hand. The parts are light-weight and feature the JConcepts leading edge wing chamfer which match existing side-dams. Special consideration has been made to line-up with the Aero wing including a hard bevel on the base for better fitment and more air channeling. The standard Aero divider fits JConcepts’ #0168, #0169, #0178, and #0179 wings while the S-type suits the #0173 and #0181 wings. The dividers are available separately with each including two pieces.
