High speed G-maxx for ISC event, 100mph or bust

[Rivermaxx]

I am wanting to say that when jzemaxx fliped he was possible giving more throttle so it might of wheelied causing the blow over. I could be wrong but running 12s the throttle has to be more touchy than on 6s.
I will definatly run it without a body and see how it does. You are right on with the rules you must have a body so there is really no way around it. Must have a body with frontal down force period. With the price of bodies I am not going to buy one just to cut up. I am allready pushing the expense envelope with this build buying parts and extra parts for spares. Besides think about a topfuel funny car they have no holes in the body at all but the back of the body doesnt cover the rear of the wheels.This is the same idea I am having besides if you read the 91.2 mph revo thread again he did the same thing and it worked perfect. The front wing idea is called a splitter I just have to figure it out somehow.
LOL no homemade wind tunnels if it work it works if not oh well. I put a goal of 100mph because it just a goal and somthing to strive for. If it does 80mph I will be happy remember my first goal is to break the current 72.8 mph official record held by a hpi wheely king on buggy tires.

No, a wing and a splitter are two completely different animals. A wing controls air flow, a splitter essentially stops it and holds it (which is how it makes downforce). So your downforce is completely on the nose of the vehicle, rather than spread over the hood and/or roof line. If you want to use a splitter style, be prepared to raise your wing up and/or increase its angle to catch more air. Hopefully you wont end up with too much downforce - that will kill speed also.
