JConcepts have a range of new front and rear wing for the Team Associated B5 series of buggies available. First up is the 6.5″ Finnisher rear wing for B5M buggies. The wing features a high-attack design with trimable rear gurney options and it offers a radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design. The wing mounts low on the vehicle allowing for a lower centre of gravity which is important in high-grip conditions. The lightweight wing features reinforcement ribs to increase lateral stiffness throughout the centre while the hi-clearance areas built into the side-dams allow for rear tyre movement and growth. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while wing mount dimples are included for a drop-fit onto the popular B5M vehicle.
