I have not found many downforce builds here, so I will post my vte2 build on which I aim for over 5kg downforce @120kmh with less than 6kg of weight. For now, I have only done some simulations and just finished the rear wing. Let's see if downforce is worth it....
Also in the last driving session my 1717 1650kv reached 49k rpm, does that mean my kevlar wrap is ok? Or at what rpms do they explode if they are faulty?
If you have some downforce-related projects feel free to post them here.
I guess from my CFDs that this wing will create 2-3kg downforce @120kmh. Now the front wing is missing.
Some time ago I made a limitless model with maximum flaps (only from photos so inaccurate). Results: 1.63kg Downforce and 1.98kg drag @120kmh. Lift Efficiency of only 0.83 so I will try and do better than that.
