The way you are using the wing now, can be done like i described.

A real F1 car doesn't exactly uses a TVP either.

What I mean by realistic is that once it's assembled it looks near real. When assembled, the front wing is attached to the nose cone. I'm not sure if bodywork regs will allow the rear wing to be mounted to the knuckle. I'll check it out, but for now it has to be attached to the chassis.

This weekend was very productive. It might not look like it, but it was. Think of the amount you get done as the graph of an exponential function: the more you get done, the harder it is to do more. A lot of what I did was touch up type stuff. I added the deans connectors with that cool little mount I designed for my Savage. I don't have wires yet because I'm not sure how to do it but they will hopefully come soon. I rebuilt the entire car as a new assembly which helped immensly: It allowed me to go over every single part and find out what I could do to make it better. A lot of the aluminum has chamfered edges which, I think, makes it look better. I added all of the fastners such as screws, bolts, and body clips. The nosecone isn't mounted yet because I havet to figure out how to make it structurally sound. There were a lot of other little things, but I think I'm starting to ramble so I'll stop. Here are some pics:

I'm not extremely happy with the renders and it's pretty frustrating and time consuming to get them right. I hope I can get some good ones this week or next weekend. One thing I can't change too much is the way the rear wings look super bright: they are mostly flat which translates into poor rendering. I'll work on it though. Hope you guys like it.
