Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage Clear Buggy Wing is manufactured from high-grade plastic materials that provide an excellent balance of durability and weight savings. The clear transparent plastic construction maintains visibility through the wing whilst delivering the structural rigidity needed to withstand the forces generated during dynamic RC driving. The aerodynamic profile of this wing is optimised for 1/10 scale buggy applications, providing measurable improvements in stability and traction during acceleration and cornering manoeuvres. Built to work seamlessly with the FTX Vantage 2.0's electric powertrain — whether equipped with brushed or brushless motors — this component integrates perfectly with the existing bodywork and mounting hardware. The wing attachment points are engineered for reliable installation using the compatible FTX Vantage wing brackets and holders (available separately), ensuring secure positioning even during high-impact running or competitive track sessions.
