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 |
ill take a pic of my prototype wing mount for you 2morrow
|
heres the pics
I'm finished with this mount but ima make another one more stronger this was for me to get the exct lenghts and stuff http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ingedMaxx1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ingedMaxx2.jpg |
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 |

|
