JConcepts Yokomo YZ2 narrow & wide front wings

Tailor-made for Yokomo’s YZ2 buggy are JConcepts’ new Aero narrow and wide front wings. Mounted above the front shock tower on the Yokomo YZ2 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 variant for a lighter feel or the wide wing for heavier down force. The Aero wing features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options. A radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design includes elements and features fresh for the latest off-road conditions. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while triple wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit to the popular Yokomo series of vehicles. The wings come clear and in sets of either two narrow or two wide wings.

Schelle B6 flat A-arm front & 31mm rear shock towers

Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations are two new carbon fibre option parts for the Team Associated B6 buggy. First up is the flat A-arm front shock tower and wing mount. The front tower design mates with a 3-D-printed upper wing mount, allowing to screw-on the front wing without removing the shock standoffs. The design also allows to quickly extract the mount without removing the shock standoff screws, as well as remove the wing off the car for travel or cleaning while keeping the mount in place. Furthermore the screw-on front wing design eliminates the common wing failure of cracking at the mount tab corner. The front tower kit comes including suitable hardware and a gullwing A-arm variant will be released soon.
