technically... our cars don't have 'wishbone' suspension.. it's single A arm with upper control link. These cars use single arm for lower linkage, with hinge pin, not a single lower and upper pivot at c-hub point like 'true' wishbone suspension... To use the term 'wishbone' suspension loosely (like real cars, ie Honda) our cars would be 'double wishbone' Anything that's not strut based suspension can be loosely called double wishbone or double A arm. My old Honda and Audis had one upper control link, but they were still called 'double wishbone'

Only 'real' wishbone suspension in RC I can think of is T-maxx front end, and 1/8th scale gas pancar front end where you have 2 pillow balls holding up the c-hub.
