Introducing the pre trimmed V2 Hammer Wing by Leadfinger Racing!
Polycarbonate wings have been the topic of debate since their starting. For a very long time, it was the best way to go for the eighth scale racing scene. The development lasted somewhat over 5 years till a number of the manufactures grew to become extra aggressive with plastic wings. But wait. Polycarbonate is making a comeback once more, and over the previous 12 months or so we’re beginning to see just a few new makes an attempt at it. So, let’s go!
Polycarbonate wings have just a few nice points to them. Their lighter than plastic wings by about 12 to fifteen grams and even much less if their deemed gentle weight. Because of this they’ve a decrease heart of gravity that removes a number of the pendulum impact related to plastic wings. They additionally assist to liberate the rear making for a quicker race automotive basically reducing laps instances. Polycarbonate wings could be tuned by including or eradicating the middle stabilizer to extend or lower stability within the air and even change rear traction on the bottom. The thought is to tune the automotive to the wing to unlock higher lap instances. But there’s con to polycarbonate wings. The greatest concern for racers is sturdiness. In reality, a standard assertion previously was “I crash too much” or “they only work for pros.” LFR modified that in 2016 with the unique Hammer wing because it shortly grew to become identified for being essentially the most sturdy and tunable wing obtainable. Today the Hammer wing continues to be going sturdy, and some rivals proceed to make use of it as a fundamental footprint for improvement of their very own. So why the attraction to the polycarbonate wing once more? Well, when correctly used with the fitting arrange, they will outperform plastic wings. Here’s how we did it once more with the brand new V2.
There are 4 new options of the V2 Hammer wing that set it other than the others. First the unique facet dams from the V1 have been lowered from 5 mm to 25mm on the V2. By reducing them a further 20mm we had been capable of lower the middle of gravity, eradicating extra of the pendulum impact and liberating up the rear of the automotive much more.
Next was to work on the again of the wing. We did embrace the choice to make use of holes in case you choose. However, we lowered the wicker on the V2 by 50mm with the intention to select what works greatest for you. The decrease wicker allows you to trim extra materials out of the trailing edge, once more liberating up the rear with out sacrificing sturdiness. For much more sturdiness we rounded the again corners prolonging the lifetime of the wing considerably.
Finally, we widened the middle of the wing to raised match at this time’s wing brackets. This replace was lengthy overdue and our apologies to these having to trim the help tabs to make the older V1 match. The change additionally accompanies the usage of wider wing stays.
4 stable months of monitor testing had been accomplished to make sure the sturdiness and high quality you’ll be able to count on from Leadfinger Racing. The new V2 Hammer wing comes pre trimmed and is accessible in your selection of both smoke or clear.
