JConcepts pre trimmed high-clearance wings

Two new High-Clearance wings available pre-trimmed has been developed and manufactured by JConcepts Inc. The 6.5” and 7” wide HCW incorporates a short-chord design for quick rotation and a flat-base which provides more tire clearance. As the carpet, Astroturf, and high-traction dirt conditions become more prevalent, racers have asked for specific 6.5” & 7”rear wings. The durable and pre-trimmed design has chopped rear corners for rigidity plus a traditional lower-level gurney that is achievable for even less drag over large jumps. The side-dams of the wing feature hard radius cut-outs which allow even more tire rear expansion and flex space. JConcepts designers Paul Wynn and Fred Reep added dual stability fangs which also help boost the front to rear structure. The rear of the wing still maintains a high-angle to vertical rear dam to give drivers a straight-forward layout suited to high-speed circuits. The HCW is a direct bolt-on piece for most 1/10th buggies and includes one pre-trimmed wing per package.
