RC Car Wings

Shop RC rear wings, replacement wings and wing accessories for a wide range of radio-controlled cars, buggies, trucks and racing models. A rear wing can improve aerodynamic stability, provide additional rear-end grip and help protect the rear of the vehicle during crashes and rollovers.

Available in different shapes, sizes, materials and mounting configurations, RC rear wings are available for racing, performance upgrades, replacement repairs and scale builds.

What Does an RC Rear Wing Do?

A rear wing helps manage airflow over the vehicle and can generate additional aerodynamic downforce at higher speeds. This can improve rear-end stability and make the vehicle more predictable, particularly during high-speed cornering and acceleration.

Depending on the design and adjustment, a rear wing can influence:

• High-speed stability
• Rear-end grip
• Cornering behaviour
• Vehicle balance
• Steering response
• Acceleration stability
• Overall aerodynamic performance

Rear wings are particularly important on RC racing buggies and on-road vehicles, where aerodynamic balance can have a noticeable effect on handling.

Rear Wing Types

RC rear wings are available in a variety of designs to suit different vehicles and driving conditions.

Buggy Rear Wings
Commonly used on 1/8 and 1/10 scale off-road buggies. These wings are designed to provide stability and rear grip while being strong enough to withstand jumps and crashes.

Touring Car Wings
Designed for on-road racing applications, these wings are generally lightweight and shaped to provide consistent aerodynamic performance.

GT & On-Road Wings
Available in different shapes and profiles to suit GT cars, sports cars and other high-performance on-road models.

Truck & Short Course Wings
Designed specifically for trucks and short course vehicles, often combining aerodynamic performance with increased durability.

Scale & Replacement Wings
Used to restore damaged vehicles or add realistic scale detailing to an RC build.

Wing Material

RC rear wings can be manufactured from a range of materials, including:

• Polycarbonate
• Nylon
• Composite materials
• Carbon fibre
• Plastic
• Fibreglass

Flexible materials such as moulded plastic or polycarbonate can provide excellent durability for off-road use, while lightweight composite and carbon fibre components can be used where reducing weight and improving performance are priorities.

Wing Adjustment

Many racing rear wings allow adjustment of the wing angle, position or mounting height.

Changing the wing angle can alter the amount of aerodynamic load generated at speed.

More wing angle:
Generally provides increased rear stability and grip, but can increase aerodynamic drag.

Less wing angle:
Generally reduces aerodynamic load and drag, which can increase straight-line speed but may reduce rear-end stability.

The ideal setting depends on the vehicle, track conditions, tyres, suspension setup and driving style.

Choosing the Correct Rear Wing

Before purchasing a rear wing, check the manufacturer's compatibility information and the specifications of your vehicle.

Important factors include:

• Vehicle make and model
• Vehicle version or model year
• Scale
• Wing dimensions
• Mounting hole spacing
• Wing mount compatibility
• Material
• Weight
• Intended application

Some wings are designed specifically for a particular vehicle and may require the correct wing mount or support brackets.

Replacement & Performance Wings

A replacement rear wing is an easy way to repair a damaged RC vehicle and get it back on the track. For racers and performance-focused drivers, different wing designs can also be used to fine-tune aerodynamic balance and handling characteristics.

When selecting a performance wing, consider the track layout and conditions. A high-downforce setup can be beneficial on technical tracks with high-speed corners, while a lower-drag setup may be preferable on tracks with long straights.

Installation

Most RC rear wings attach to a dedicated wing mount using screws and mounting hardware. Installation varies between vehicles, so always check the manufacturer's instructions and ensure the wing is securely mounted before driving.

For racing applications, make sure the wing and mounting position comply with the rules of your racing class.

Whether you need a replacement for a damaged wing, an aerodynamic upgrade for racing or a scale wing for your latest RC build, RC Hobbyland has rear wings and accessories to suit a wide range of RC vehicles.
