Wing?
 

I was looking to mount a wing on my E-maxx. I know Dace Mfg. has a shock tower for it but is there any other way to mount one? If so how and with what wing and mount?

Thanks

What wing and mount did you use? Any closer pics? I'd like to see the design.

its a proline wing and Ofna wing mount the extenders are made by me
sorry no close pics for now since i jus took it apart and now building a new one hopefully the "final" version
I'm getting tired of cutting sheet metal with a dremel

as soon as i finished this version ill post pics to show you

May i ask what is the point of a wing on a monster truck?

the wing makes it a whole new truck
it handles different
more agile
and it feels like its glued to the ground

I understand, i always thought it looked strange but now i know there is an actual purpose to having one, thanks shadow.

Plus you have a handle to carry your truck. LOL!!!

My Maxx feels so different now with the wing
I dont think i can drive my maxx w/out a wing now
well maybe for climbing and stuff

All my trucks have wings. I think they make the truck fly better in the air. And help proyect the truck when you flip over.

ehh for climbing im thinking of using Imex JumboMaxx claw dawgs and jumbomaxx diamonds and a proline h2 SUV body
so wing aint gona look good with a SUV

A wing can definately help out w/ additional downforce on the truck. You'll lose a little top speed but gain traction on the wheels where your wing is placed.

How much downfoce depends on the surface area of the wing, the grade at which it sets, and your speed.

The grade is extremely important however, if its neutral or has a "positive" lift you'll get the opposite effect, at speed. This would be a bad thing.

Decided to find a linky. This one looks pretty good, and not overly technical -> http://www.mustangsandmore.com/ubb/D...dynamics2.html

thnx CHUD

any ways to mount it to a Emaxx tower?

yeah you could but it will be poking up tru the body
I made extenders so it would look like a revo with a wing

You can pretty much do that same thing here http://rcbros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=775

But to the e-maxx shock tower. It works the same way. You will have to cut the body some though as mentioned.

my i didnt have to cut my body
I only cut off the trunk gate like a crowd pleazer body
i dont have to remove anything with the upper body

heres a pic of the final version of my wing mount extenders
and the tools i used to make the stuff and shape em
the middle of the picture is one of the plates of the final version of my wing mount extenders
