With the introduction of the RC10B7 from Team Associated, JConcepts received requests for an assortment of products leading to this release of a 1-piece rear wing button. The connected, dual triangular item is braced and shaped for function and flair. The idea of the shape is to create a solid footing against the wing with a hefty base but a soft leading edge for smooth air flow. The domed shape with small flat top reveals just enough room for the standard mounting hardware. The item has silver highlighted chamfering around the base with connected brace between the two functional housings. The connector sports another channel cut for additional detail and cuts the wind like a racing machine should. Available in bold blue or stealth black, the 1-piece wing button adds strength, durability, and outright pizzazz to your RC10B7 buggy. On top, JC logos are added for style and authenticity.
