Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Truggy Rear Wing & Mount is engineered to complement the 1/16 scale Tracer platform's dynamic performance characteristics. At this scale, aerodynamic components play an increasingly important role in vehicle stability and handling predictability. The rear wing assembly is constructed from durable materials designed to withstand the stresses of off-road truggy racing, including high-speed acceleration, aggressive cornering, and impact forces from rough terrain. The mounting system is engineered to attach securely to the Tracer's chassis without introducing additional weight that would compromise the vehicle's balance or acceleration. The wing's profile and angle are optimised for the typical running speeds and conditions encountered in 1/16 scale off-road racing, providing measurable improvements in stability and control without creating excessive drag that would reduce top speed potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this rear wing fit my FTX Tracer truggy? — Yes, this is an OEM FTX component designed specifically for the FTX Tracer 1/16 scale truggy platform. It will fit all standard Tracer models including the green, red, and orange variants, regardless of whether you own a standard RTR or a bundle package version.
- What is the purpose of a rear wing on an RC truggy? — The rear wing serves multiple functions: it provides aerodynamic downforce that helps stabilise the vehicle at higher speeds, reduces unwanted lift during acceleration and jumps, and improves overall handling characteristics and traction during cornering. For 1/16 scale RC racing, this translates to better predictability, faster lap times, and more confident driving experience.
- Is installation difficult? — No, this is a bolt-on component designed for straightforward installation. The mounting system connects directly to your Tracer's chassis with no modifications required. Most users can have it fitted in under five minutes with basic tools.
- Do I need any other parts or components to install this wing? — The rear wing and mount assembly includes everything needed for installation. You will not require additional fasteners, brackets, or components beyond what is included in the box.
- Will adding a rear wing affect my Tracer's speed or performance? — The aerodynamic benefits of the rear wing far outweigh any minor drag it might introduce. At 1/16 scale, the net effect is improved stability and handling, which generally results in faster, more consistent lap times in racing situations. In casual bashing, you'll notice better control during high-speed runs and jumps.
- Is this part essential or optional? — This is an optional hop-up upgrade. Your FTX Tracer will run perfectly well without it. However, if you regularly race your truggy or run at high speeds, adding a rear wing is one of the most cost-effective upgrades available, offering noticeable improvements in vehicle handling and control.
