On the Lambo - I'd cut the front wheel opening out (this adds front downforce)

On the Can-Am __ cutting the spoiler off , would be good.(leverage)


can u pls explain what u mean with that i dont understand what to do exactly

Based on the photos you posted,

The white Lamborghini ------- the wheel openings are not cut out --- just cut out the front ones.

The silver & pink Can-Am ------- cut off the rear spioler.

I have not seen any photos of your GT40 --- so I cant comment on that one..................

Hey Nic have done what you said i cut off the rear wing
from the can-am body.
And because of the lambo body I think it is really good to me so I decided to use it only for normal racing

maybe the rain will stop soon i hope so i want to test the little changes

The Can-am body
with the spoiler cut off and two side dams (one on each side)
from the rear wheel -- to 2' being the body. ~~~ 1.5" high.

Plus ------ don't forget--
Adding bump stops (thicker shock oil/stiffer springs) can prevent chassis lunge.
---------------------------------------------------------
Smooth on the throttle is good , but you are probably doing that already?

we need video!  lol

ok guess u are right but what is stiffer springs iam german i dont know what it means maybe u can explain?

   
I believe I need no side dams
if I understood use correctly , they are only there to keep the car on track is that correct?
I did not have any problems to correct the car in the right position of the track

smooth on the throttle is hard couse i only have a short place to drive i think 164,04 yd or so

I only have handy cam so i try to make a video next time and if i dont test alone Cheesy

The side dams will stop the car flipping over at high speed and keep it tracking straight

If you go to my postings on this site under "Problem Child Jr." there are some pics of a simple spoiler/side dam set up that makes my car VERY stable.

ok if someone interested

it seems as if I am testing saturday, also i drive a small racing against a F1 f2008 Nitro, and then versus a tc on a 400m ˛ indoor hall
I think a small, video is possible, which include the handycam works well

Hi all

much happens on saturday (video was made by the dealer where I drove on the track so i have to get it from him these days)
So I had 3-4 runs but not as good, only Max 91,34 mph
but that was not so bad. the bad thing was on run 3 the car run out and flown with 71,46 mph into the viewers but could swerve
however, a dog sat there and was not away fast enough i had hit him at the leg, his owner has taken him into the car, he had bled ... I dont know more.
maybe it could be seen on the video.

Ah

edit:Yesterday i have beaten the nitro rc F2003 racing car with 3seconds faster on 160 yd 
also the speedmeter shows 250kmh but that was becouse i flipped away in the end and so the    engine could do more rpm without any resistance.
