F1 cars use wings to keep it on the groung there is no ground effects used anymore in F1? the old cars used tunnels or ground effects under the car to create vacume to suck the car to the ground along with wings.

defusers are used to control turbulance under the car witch reduces drag used without wings or a high downforce body under acceleration and weight transfer the front of the car will lift and stack the air under the car inducing a flip?

The scale of the car does not matter the same aero dynamic prinipals apply be it 1/18,1/7 or full scale the main difference is weight and the power or torque it takes to overcome the aero drag and weight diferences as the scale size increases.

The principals are the same for all scales yes, but the drag is not. Smaller object takes alot less power to push through the air all things being equal. As the scale gets larger the frontal area increases, which can be independant of the weight. Also I don't plan to use any ground effects....
