If i am honest, I really REALLY dislike the rear part of the RC10 bodyshells - the bit that extends over the rear of the shock tower and over the motor. I have always thought this raised the shells up way too high and made the car look a bit top-heavy (I usually like top-heavy!! ) I have left this bit of the shell on my Concept Car mainly because the mag car had it, but on all of my other RC10 builds i cut it off and hunker the shell down. It is one of the reasons I totally prefer the Penn Jackal RC10 shell as it is much lower and more streamline and doesn't even have a rearward section.
With a wing atop the standard uncut body i think they look a bit much. Just my opinion of course. I also like to build wings with my own pointy side plate shape, the same as I always ran bitd, and therefore wings are a bit of a must for my builds really, so for me it is a trimmed and lowered shell, plus wing all day long.
Makes sense. I may look at trimming the "engine cover" off and running a wing. Going for a paint job like this, which may be to your taste?s-l400.jpg
Lol I think that might actually be 1 of Dingle’s buggies you have a pic of there dirtburner
Im working on attaching a wire wing to the pod of my 10L and I cannot seem to identify the name of the part that mounts the wire to the pod. RC-10's use those two aluminum posts pressed into the rear bulkhead. Im looking for similar mounts for the...
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...
I don't remember who made it and haven't seen one in 20 years but I'm sure someone here does. It was carbon fiber or graphite and was a gentle curved shape. There were no side dams on it. Does anyone know of it?

Was it the Twinn-K aerofoil like on my LTO buggy? I got two of them from Johnny several years ago. They included pieces of clear plastic tubing that you had to glue into the cf piece, then you threaded screws into the tubes to attach the side...
1. I finally got some Diamond Shaped Wing Buttons, but Ive read about Large, and Small ones. Tell me how to figure out which I have, and which is Older.
2. I have #6183 Wing, is that Proper for an Edinger?
3. What kind of Wire do I need for it?...

the big ones are big! lol
the small ones use a 4-40 set screw, these use like a 6-32 i think, much larger screw
So,I got my vintage Bud's wing mounted on my JRX2...It's a whopper of a wing-I need some feedback.
Is it too much wing for the car? Should I trim it down,maybe at the rear of the side panels?
Please let me know what ya think...Maybe not enough car?!
