Sometime this week, I'm grabbing another Protoform Corvette C7 SWB body. And have a highly recommended airbrusher willing to put to body what I envision. For a fee of course. So the new body may become a shelf/show body while I do runs with one. Choose to use this one again because I already have one and it's helpful when doing a custom build knowing what room you have and what space to fill in. Also I did get decent results with it. But it has one drawback. It's wing SUCKS. It might work, I won't claim to know the engineering behind it. But what I can say for sure is it creates drag and adds to the instability. You can actually see it flutter about and shake up the body when it climbs north of 70-80 mph(or thereabouts). When this build is done, I try runs without the wing just to see if it's needed. I think it is as downforce on the rear, and a little thing I'm doing to create some frontal downforce can't hurt and will help keep it planted. I've looked at various wings from Arrma, Traxxas and HPI and they all really are not scale or just look wrong with the body. Does anyone know of any aftermarket makers or options for wings? The wing will be mounted to the body, needs to be solid enough to hold its shape and create downforce and I will likely make my own 3 way adjustable mounts like I did for my TT02.
