LiteSpeed: My speed record attempt car...

[Dagger Thrasher]

Looks aren't all that important, but aerodynamics are pretty complex as you can imagine so a properly designed, moulded shell is the only practical way for this car IMO. Shells with good aero properties for this application just often happen to look attractive too, lol. Making a shell sounds interesting...it might be an idea to do some research on basic aero before designing something though. An important property at high speed is rigidity...if the shell starts wobbling about because of the air pressure, you've got problems :S. I'd say a one-piece, moulded shell would be better, but I'm not saying it can't be done... give it a shot! Post a topic on it mate...it'd be interesting to see how you get along. :)

RevRacer, personally I'm going to be running 6S. Sounds like an interesting project! :)

By the by, I've just placed an order for a Windtunnel Racing XHS velodrome shell...I'll post more info and some pics when it gets here. I'll probably also get hold of a Custom Works Camaro Open shell as alternative to test...the more the merrier lol. :)
