JConcepts Razor polycarbonate 1:8 wing

JConcepts has released its latest technically advanced alternative 2-piece wing for 1:8 racing with its new untrimmed polycarbonate Razor. The Razor polycarbonate wing features a brand-new design mimicking the injection molded Razor as closely as possible. Incorporating a multi-height layout which allows the wing to sit in a lower stance and the center section allows the included center divider to be added as another tuning option. The wing is extremely light weight, formed in 1mm polycarbonate, and includes a centre divider together on the same part. The wing is refined with taller side-dams, and taller rear gurney with trim lines and dimples finished on the part. Angular sections blend nicely into the high-performance shape giving a location for that initial step and transition to the wing’s gurney position. At the base of the wing rests the “fangs” that have become so popular on the 1:10 off-road carpet | turf | dirt wing. Since the wing has a lowered section in the centre, some 1:8 buggies may have interfering geometry which will need to be trimmed or cut to allow the wing to drop down on the wing mounts.
