plugfest!!!! :p
I like the Yokomo BX wing, comes in a 2 wing pack, one curved, one straight. plenty of downforce!

The Azarashi wings are rather huge, but the original ZX5 wing is massive.

I've got the new losi XXXCR wing set to try on my B4, obviously I've had to trim it a bit to get it on, but it looks good now it's there!

Them old skool nylon style wings were pretty cool. Came in various day-glow colours, and had awesome side dams. :D

that nice amount of weight up high really helped generate rear end grip too, plenty of weight transfer going on :)

ive been running the azarashi wings on my zx5 for about 6months. they are BIG and a huge improvement on the original ones. you get a straight one and a curved one in a pack.not bad value either.

I'm currently running Nylon wings, not day glo though, just dull white and off colour blue.
I weighed them, and they weigh in at exactly the same (to the nearest gram) weight as a huuuuuge lexan X factory wing.

I think Kyosho still make a moulded wing for the Inferno TR15 nitro buggy.

Academy make them, its the academy wings that are on my cars.
I like the J Concepts ones, the lexan is pretty thick compared to others which seems to make them last longer. Either that or I am spending less time upside down :p

Nylon wings are indestructible if you know what to do with them, unfortunately due to the amount of flex that the new (well 2 years old now I guess :eh?:, were new to me when I was new !) proline wings have for 8ths, many have forgotten about the art of boiling a wing, lob it in a saucepan of boiling water, and allow to simmer until flexible enough to survive the full force of a hyper 7 landing upside down (can vouch for this one working ! :o) kinda like pasta... seriously ! ;) Hyper 7 wings boiled make for fantastically indestructable wings :) might have to figure out how to get one on my future B4 ! :D
