Press Release From Dialed RC:

After the huge success of the most innovative 1/8 buggy and truggy tires on the market, DIALED-RC throws their hat in the ring with 2 new 1/8 wings with design features never seen before in RC. The debut of the V-Wing was at the 2024 Wicked Weekend where 6 DIALED-RC Team drivers used the wing to podium in 1/8 Intermediate E-Buggy, Intermediate Nitro Buggy, 40+ Nitro Buggy, and 40+ E-buggy, followed by a a TQ & 1st in Intermediate Nitro Buggy and 1st in E-Truggy at the Peach State Classic.

First up is the High V-Wing.
This is DIALED-RC's version of the "Euro" high down force wing made out of ultra lite weight crack resistant plastic. Although it is shaped like a traditional lexan wing, the unique design features raise the bar on what a 1/8 wing is capable of achieving.

What sets this wing apart from all the rest is the "V" shaped main body. Strategically designed to provide maximum down force on the center of the vehicle for maximum forward traction, while reducing the surface area of the sides that taper back towards the side dams. This "V" shape allows air to pass through the sides of the wing faster than the middle, which helps keep the chassis flatter and more level through high speed sweeping corners. The less your buggy or truggy leans to the side through the turns, the less likely it is to traction roll on high traction conditions. The "V" shape also reduces drag for higher top speeds without sacrificing traction and stability. Chassis roll characteristics drastically change the handling of a vehicle, and less roll and weight transfer side to side causes a faster response and more corner speed than ever seen before.

The second main feature never seen before on a Euro style wing is a removable Wicker Bill. The Wicker Bill option adds high speed stability without sacrificing high speed steering. While not causing much drag, the Wicker Bill causes turbulence in the air that affects how the wing performs at low and high speeds. Some Pro drivers have said that it increases straight line traction and high speed steering at the same time. Try your DIALED-RC V-Wing with and without it to see if you prefer the handling charges yourself. A Carbon Fiber Wicker Bill will be available separately as well for that factory look and added wing rigidity that keeps your wing looking newer for longer.

The High V-Wing also features an almost straight 90' rear dam that provides maximum down force while also making the wing stiffer and less likely to warp during crashes. There are 6 pre-marked hole dimples so that you can ream out holes out to reduce down force as needed for use on high traction or in windy conditions. We recommend 7-14mm wide holes as needed.

More desired features are a grid on the bottom for easy marking and mounting to any 1/8 buggy or truck, and recessed side dams to add rigidity and help keep your vinyl side plate decals from getting scratched up on the first crash. The traditional 1/10 scale lexan looking side dams feature a 45' angled cut as well as 45' angled center fins to further increase side bite and stability in the rear center of the chassis, while reducing drag.

Next up is the OG V-Wing.
The OG V-Wing (Original Gangster) has the same main body and same features as the High V-Wing except it has traditional looking Kyosho/Mugen/HB 1/8 wing side dams. The triangle shaped side dams gives an Old School look while also reducing side bite for better control while jumping, faster corner speed, and is less affected in windy conditions. The OG side dams sit lower than on the High V-Wing and below the main wing body for a lower profile look, and lower center of gravity further reducing chassis roll while cornering. Some Pro drivers who tested the OG V-Wing said that they simply felt more connected and in control of their buggy vs the Euro style wings currently on the market.

Try both the High and OG V-Wings today and see which one suits your setup and driving style the best. Never before has so much detail gone into a wing, and so many options been given to the racers to further fine tune the performance to fit their setup and preferences on the track. Both wings are available in Black, White, and Fluorescent Yellow. Optional vinyl wing wraps and side dam plate decals sold separately. Take your rides to the next level and get a DIALED-RC V-Wing today!
