JConcepts TLR22 3.0 Aero rear wing

JConcepts Aero rear wing is now also available in a variant for the TLR22 3.0 buggy. The new Aero wing has intriguing details, a leading edge that drops below the mounting point that acts in a scooping manner and the centre “V channel” flows off the wing matching the rear tower geometry. The mounting area drops the wing at just the correct height and position while the side-dams feature large openings for tyre clearance and expansion. An innovative forward gurney option gives drivers an adjustment that previously hasn’t been available in the class and clipped rear corners help minimise flex breakage. The joint wing assembly includes two wing pieces in each package for added value.
