[QUOTE=Rivermaxx;329980]I did the front diff with the bad horsie difflock but not sure if its going to work. It is a hole lot tighter but it will still differentiate. Definatly not locked. I made my adaptor plate out of some 2.5 mm carbon fiber and a peice of billet plate. Turned out nice but I might cut the spacer down to keep the weight down.
I am also having second thoughts about running the jconcepts body because of the flat not so aerodynamic nose. It does have alot lower roof line than the slipstream though so I really dont know if it would make a difference. I went ahead and ordered another slipstream, maybe I can make the new one work better. I think the front wing design is out though unless I need some front down force which I think the body should take care of anyway. Here a pic of the carbon fiber adaptor plate I made. The billet spacer underneath is needed because the monoblock is pretty thick. The carbon fiber peice will make a good place for the gyro to go when it shows up.

It looks good River. Your extra spacer looks very much like what I have setup on my high speed project, only with a double monoblock instead. With the double monoblock setup it is extremely strong and quite easy to modify in order to make them match up together. It looks nice so far River. I think the front wing design is still a good bet in order to avoid liftoff on the front end. If you do go over 100mph it will try to lift up on you because you have a lot of air space under your chassis.

I really like that other high speed rig shown earlier, because he even designed a kind of vane system into the underside of his chassis shield to deflect air that does get under the vehicle off to each side, which reduced the airflow going all the way to the rear of the vehicel. Ultimately reducing the chance of liftoff.

Like I mentioned before you may want to look at the other examples of 1:1 vehicles in both funny car and F-1 racing. Even for a 1:1 vehicle they keep the chassis just a fraction of an inch from the ground, and still add wind deflectors to keep the front end on the ground. 100mph airflow will lift anything up that gets in its way as long as it can get underneath the object in question. Just an opinion, and I love the work your doing. Good luck River.
