Never seen this before, to be perfectly honest I’ve had it for a while now and before looking at it closely I thought it was a homemade aluminum wing.
It’s thin, somewhat flexible, yet strong as well.
Any idea what company may have made this ?
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out
I used to run them on my indoor Mid carpet racer and still have a couple of them. More recently I was actually sent a brand new one for my Mid rebuild.
As you say, very strong and absolutely feather light!

My original one still in storage, and a new undrilled one. I have a third one on an 870C too. I know I do have a fourth one with a floro Novak sticker across it but i don't seem to have a photo.
Quite cool items and something you don't see very often, now, or back then.

Composite Craft, of course ! Thank you dinglem
You have a fine collection of them.
I was hoping it was CC, the material weave looks just like that of the upper chassis of my CC worlds car.
Any idea of the year range they were available ?

Bit of an older thread, but i noted the graphite wing availability dates were being discussed. This advert is for the pre-Composite Craft days, so D&D Graphite.
This advert is from a 1986 UK mag, so they were clearly available that early.
I also purchased a UK lightweight RC10 and when I tracked down the original owner he sent me a photo of the very same car surrounded by trophies from 1986... and the car was sporting one of these graphite wings.

So I got my dad’s old rc10 and it has a body spoiler on it but I was just looking at old pics and never see anyone have one of these is this something factory you could buy or was this a custom part my dad made?

Rear black chassis protector looks homemade.
I'm getting very close to jumping into my first Kyosho re-re, and I'm struggling to decide which model to get between the Scorpion, Turbo Scorpion or the Tomahawk. I like the Tomahawk the best of the three except that I think it looks goofy without...

For as long as possible I was trying to figure out a way to retain the exhausts as well but in the end just said, screw it! :lol:
Also had to cut a lot more than planned for the rear shocks as I'm using the carbon LWB kit.
Got the blu ray and watched it last night and I'm curious if any of our membership here has seen it.
I thought I knew the story but was surprised by some plot twists. Perhaps the film-makers have taken some artistic license in an effort to make a...

Is a wing necessary for a buggy that is not going to be raced? My low buck build will most likely never see a proper track.
Thanks.

I found some original wing tubes. I know that the B3 wing wire is too small, is the proper size still available (from AE, Tower, etc) in a kit with the wing, wire, etc.?
Thanks
I used a set of nose braces that I cut down. they are the same tube...
