Xray Lexan 1/8th off-road lightweight rear wing

Xray have introduced their new lightweight Lexan 1/8th off-road rear wing. Designed as a direct fit on the XB8 platform the pre-cut wing greatly lowers the overall centre of gravity thanks to its low weight while the optional centre fins and the pre-bent wicker area make for optimised stability and downforce. The rear wicker area also does away with the class-standard composite gurney flaps while also greatly improving the overall stability of the wing. Moulded-in dimples for the wing mounting screws allow to mount the wing in different positions without the need to make any measurements and the wing is usable on all XB8 platform vehicles including the XB8, XB8E and XT8.

JConcepts Aero S-Type 1/10th buggy rear wing

JConcepts have introduced the next generation of 1/10th buggy rear wings with the new Aero S-Type. It includes options not yet seen before on a 1/10th off-road rear wing. An extended rear gurney lip makes tuning that much better for more grip on the loose surfaces while running the latest generation in off-road. The base of the wing design is built on the popular Aero wing but with new additions which make the wing more durable and more adjustable. The S-Type wing is a direct bolt-on piece for the Team Associated B6/B6D and B64/B64D. The wing features a long chord construction with revised section to incorporate some reinforced ribbing in the vertical plane below the over-hanging gurney. Cut-lines and dimpled locations are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options. The dimples in the rear can be reamed to expose larger holes which serve as pass-through for circulating air and helps the vehicle maintain its position during long flight jumps.

Team Azarashi HD Magna rear buggy wing

Japanese brand Team Azarashi has introduced the new HD Magna rear buggy wing for 1/10th 2WD and 4WD buggies. Taking the standard Magna wing as a basis, the HD variant is made of 20 percent thicker polycarbonate material while also being wider, resulting in improved overall durability but also weight, the latter increasing body roll in corners which can be beneficial in lower grip conditions. The wing comes made from high-quality Lexan material and it fits most 2WD and 4WD buggies.
