Infraction Best aftermarket rear wing

[Off2War]

As the title suggests, who supplies the best aftermarket rear wing for the infraction, that is also practical.

Have seen a few out there, but some don't look like they actually do anything other then look the part, as some seem to have a tiny "lip" to them compared to the height of the stock plastic wing

I am keen to buy one for my V2 so would like to know everyone's thoughts

 

[Primarrma]

what is the reason for the change? The stock wing on mine is holding up perfectly V1. The stuff from Stupid RC looks very good.

Yes been looking at his stuff and it looks great. i like the look of all the custom wings, think they really make the truck stand out, but are they at all practical?

It depends on what you're doing?

An Infraction can possibly do with a stiffer rear wing, at very high speed you want it to be consistent and not flexing around too much? Not that I'd know anything about those speeds, I've only ever got into the high 90s with my Infraction.

Does that attach to the body only? Is it thick lexan? Great job looks very tidy!

Yes it mounts in the same holes as the factory. It’s cut from a sheet of lexan I picked up at Lowe’s. It’s a lot more rigid then the factory wing. I’m about to do another style as well. Gotta have options right!

Very cool, it's a great look!

Advantage it is very nice looking and bolts right on. And is adjustable. Disadvantage the back end will slide out easier when bashing.

Looks good, why does it slide out easier, less drag at low speed?

Weight has to be 8oz give or take.

Sorry not trying to be a pain, but are you saying the extra weight has a bad effect? I would think it would help get some traction? Though in a slide the weight would swing the rear round further perhaps?

 

[Boggs3010]

It does not help when bashing, turns it will swing out due to the weight very easy. In a straight line it appears too help keep it planted. But I am not a speed runner and have not had it over 100mph.

This one...

Pro-Line 1:8 Trifecta Lexan Clear Wing, ( Part No: PL6252-00 ) they come as a pair so you could cut one for high downforce and the other for low..??

Pretty much every wing I have seen on RC cars is what I call a air dam. A wall that blocks airflow and creates downforce.
Nascar uses this design and it works with everything setup correctly to support it.

I am typically one to lean more towards an wing that is a real airfoil to smooth the airflow while adding the rear downforce needed.
This one was 3D printed for a custom body then laminated in carbon fiber. (not made for an infraction)
