Avid 7” High-Clearance Low Drag 1:10 Buggy Wing

Avid has a new 7″ wide wing designed for 1:10 buggies with high clearance wheel cutouts and low drag. Available in two thicknesses, lightweight and standard, it features a flat but curved front lip to speed the air up going over it with a smooth transition to the low pressure 18.5 degree rear section so there are no pockets or hard edges to disrupt the flow. An innovative feature they have incorporated in is a small raised line in the centre, allowing easy centring during mounting. Additionally, the wing includes eight support ribs on the sides to maintain structural integrity. Two gurney options are also offered to adjust the rear bite to your preference. The wings comes uncut as 2 units.

Sworkz’s Juan Carlos Canas is the Top Qualifier at the EFRA 1:8 Nitro Buggy European Championship at the Ongaroring in Italy. The defending Champion, secured the overall TQ after topping 3 of the 5 qualifiers at the home track of reigning World Champion Davide Ongaro. It would be the Italian who got qualifying underway on Thursday with his Team Associated fastest from the Mugen of Burak Kilic and Bruno Coelho’s Xray. Round 2 would Canas hit the top, the Spaniard fastest from Kilic and Ongaro. Making for a interesting first day in Sicile, after his two strong opening showings Kilic then delivered a TQ run in Q3 ahead of Canas, Coelho and Ongaro. With everything still to play for, Day 2 of qualifying would see Canas get the better of his two main rivals in the first encounter taking Q4 by just 4/10th of a second from Kilic with Ongaro third. Now a two way battle for the overall TQ between Canas and Kilic, on an increasingly grippy track Canas, pushed intensely by Coelho, posted the fastest time of qualifying to seal the overall TQ – just 6/100ths of a second separating the Top 2 Q5 times. Overall Kilic would end up second followed by Ongaro with Coelho fourth ahead of team-mate David Ronnefalk with the Top 6 rounded out by Berkan Kilic.
