Carbon-Pattern Rear Wings to Tweak Your Setup

For model drivers wanting a tidy aero upgrade, the Tamiya 54688 Racing Wing Set 2 contains two carbon-pattern wings formed from 0.7mm polycarbonate. They are intended for a wide selection of Tamiya touring and sports car bodies that provide space for wing attachment holes.

Different Wing Styles for Handling Changes

The set offers one curved and one straight wing so you can alter rear downforce and balance. Swap profiles to suit different circuits or driving approaches.

Installation Requirements and Advice

While the wings are broadly compatible with Tamiya on-road bodies, you must verify mounting clearance on your shell. Snap pins and O-rings are required for fitting but are not included with the set.

Do these wings alter lap times noticeably?

Wings can influence cornering stability and high-speed behaviour. Depending on your car and setup, you may see improved consistency in turns, though results vary by track and tuning.

Can I use these wings on vintage or custom Tamiya bodies?

They can be fitted to older or customised shells if there is adequate mounting space and you can align holes for the hardware. Measure and test-fit before cutting or drilling.

What is the best way to secure the wings?

Use snap pins with O-rings to hold the wing and body together. Choose pins that match your chassis posts and check the fit regularly for wear.

Should I use the same wing for street and track sessions?

Experiment with both wing shapes during practice to find a compromise. The straight wing favours lower drag while the curved wing gives added rear grip for tighter circuits.

Are the wings supplied with any pre-applied protection?

The wings come with a printed carbon pattern but no special protective film. Handle them carefully during fitting to avoid scratches, and consider a light clearcoat suitable for polycarbonate if extra protection is needed.
