Retro one piece rear wings
 
Is it still possible to get the old skool one piece plastic/nylon rear wings that were around in the 90's. Like the pink yokomo ones that someone wants in a previous post.

Yes mate, but really expensive now... around £60 depending on colour.

WTF...... That's what you call inflation.

The price if vintage Yokomo wings is entirely due to them being a specific colour and original NIP Yokomos. For correct restorations it needs to be the correct shape wing in the correct colour.
They weren't that common back then when you could get hold of wings from other companies such as Ballistic Buggy for a fraction of the price. The normal going rate for those is around £10 NIP, although I bought a few last year at a shop clearance price of £1 each.:cool:

I'm not looking for yokomo own brand wing. I'm sure that another company made something similar/ if not the same. This was nearly 15/20 years ago though

Kimbrough made too, quite ugly by the way, but these are still quite difficult to get. Other brands than Yokomo, are not so pricey as these, but more rare.

They were made by a few Yoke, Team Associates, Academy and Kimbourough were just a few.

A couple of wings have been sent to JC racing to see if they can replicate them, so hopefully there will be a new source soon.

What colour are you after?

A white one. Not looking to spend a fortune for one.
