Wing or no Wing?

I guess things at KWS are much much cheaper.....

The deal is that for TCS (Tamiya race), everything has to be Tamiya except the ele parts.  I have a FXX body, and the only Wing/Spoiler allowed is "Lightweight Wing Set, Carbon" and that thing cost US$11.50 + shipping

Any brother use that?  Does it make a big difference with and without the wing?  For FXX, the stock wing is very low.....

Um... an interesting question as this involves a discussion on aerodynamic efficiency....  Whether you should buy the wing or not, I think this is much depending on what motor will you be allowed to use in the race...  For white skin pig, I would prefer the car not to have too much drag... of course it's an entirely opposite case if you use modified motor.... Besides, it depends on the nature of the circuit.... very twisty or have many long straights?  Besides, how much tyre grip can you enjoy is also a point to be considered before deciding to add a wing or not.  

good thought..  I will use 27T, so it won't be very very fast.  May save some bullets.

Oh... if you use 27T, your Enzo should be good enough.... don't forget, add wing = add weight, no point to add a wing if you never go over the grip limit that your tyres provide.

有尾翼架車係會定好多,冇咗隻翼個反應真係會差好遠......
