I have addressed many of this cars shortcomings, and there are a few. Primarily the cut of the body, (to be expected), and the sloped section right behind the front splitter. At high speed the angled section behind the splitter is a great feature for creating lift. Maybe it was designed in to make the car more aero neutral, because I can't believe it was overlooked with as much development this car supposedly went through, but I think it is a good variable in the blow-overs that plague this car in running videos. The novice of the current drivers is probably a huge factor as well, but that goes without saying. The body has too much flex and is unsupported in key places in the front. Interestingly, if you keep cutting it down and lower the body mounts two holes, a lot of the flex goes away. It is almost solid enough for me to try it without bracing it, but I doubt it. The slots the sides sit down in also get a firm grasp once the flared section on the lexan is what seats there, after all the material below it has been removed. I have a few more secrets that I have done to it to improve the aero signature that I won't reveal, but I will say this. The front high downforce splitter should be reinforced at its widest points. Too much flex before any downforce produced there gets transferred to the chassis. Finally let's change out that motor and speed control, and bump this thing up to 8s.....
