Technical Performance
The Fastrax Drift/TC Carbon Effect Rear Wing Type-B represents the pinnacle of affordable RC car customisation, delivering genuine performance benefits alongside its striking aesthetic appeal. The carbon effect finish is applied using professional-grade coating techniques that resist UV fading and maintain their appearance through extended outdoor use and regular bash sessions. The wing's aerodynamic profile has been refined through testing on actual RC drift cars and touring car platforms, with the 188mm x 40mm x 35mm dimensions calculated to provide optimal downforce distribution without creating excessive drag that would compromise top-end speed. The construction utilises durable composite materials that provide the rigidity necessary to maintain wing geometry at speed whilst remaining light enough not to negatively impact your RC car's acceleration or deceleration characteristics. This rear wing is engineered to perform in competitive environments, making it equally suitable for UK RC racing events, drift competitions, or casual weekend driving. The bolt-on mounting system integrates seamlessly with standard RC car body posts and wing brackets, eliminating the need for custom fabrication or modification. Builders will appreciate how quickly this component can transform both the visual presence and handling balance of their RC drift or touring car setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the Fastrax Type-A and Type-B rear wings? — The Type-A wing measures 160mm x 25mm x 30mm and is designed for builders wanting a more subtle, minimalist aesthetic, whilst the Type-B measures 188mm x 40mm x 35mm and provides a more aggressive, commanding appearance with increased surface area for enhanced downforce. The Type-B is the larger, more visually impactful option and is ideal if you want your RC car to stand out at the track or in photos.
- Will this rear wing fit my RC drift car or touring car? — The Fastrax rear wing is engineered for most 1/10 scale RC drift cars and touring car platforms, including popular models like the Tamiya TT-02, HPI models, and similar chassis. The standardised 188mm x 40mm x 35mm dimensions and bolt-on mounting system make it compatible with nearly all modern RC car designs, though we recommend checking your specific chassis instructions or contacting our team at RC Model Shop if you're unsure about compatibility.
- How difficult is it to install this rear wing? — Installation is extremely straightforward and takes only a few minutes. The rear wing uses standard mounting posts and brackets found on virtually all RC cars, requiring no drilling, modification or custom fabrication. Simply remove any existing wing, position the Type-B wing on your car's body posts, secure with the provided hardware, and you're ready to drive. Even beginners can install this component confidently.
- Does this rear wing actually improve handling? — Yes, the aerodynamic profile of this rear wing provides genuine downforce benefits that improve stability at higher speeds and enhance overall handling balance, particularly during cornering and fast driving sessions. The increased surface area of the Type-B compared to the Type-A means more aerodynamic effect, though the benefit is most noticeable when running on larger track layouts or in high-speed driving scenarios. For slower, technical drift runs, the visual upgrade is the primary benefit, though the aerodynamic characteristics still provide subtle improvements to vehicle balance.
- Is the carbon effect finish durable? — The carbon effect coating is professionally applied using quality materials that resist UV fading and damage from regular outdoor use. The finish will maintain its appearance through numerous bash sessions and competitive races, though like any painted or coated component, it can eventually show wear if subjected to significant impacts or abrasion. For casual to moderate use, the carbon effect finish will look stunning for months and years of regular driving.
- Can I fit this to multiple RC cars? — Yes, the standardised mounting system means you can move this rear wing between different 1/10 scale RC cars if they all use compatible wing post systems. This makes it a versatile component for builders with multiple vehicles in their collection, allowing you to upgrade the look and feel of several cars with a single purchase.
