Condor1201 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The wing to me is a bit platiccy/toyish looking and prefer its authenticity with out it...so its been removed. Does anyone else run their Baja's without the rear wing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It may look cheap but it does serve a purpose in keeping the back end planted. There are aftermarket spoilers available which are more rigid......I like the look of a wing, personally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 They look horrid without one i think 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trooper Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I've removed the wing and replaced it with a spare wheel. It's quite top heavy and tends to roll now. Be that down to aerodynamic changes or the extra weight up high or maybe a mix of them both i don't know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-baja man-x Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The wing is the main thing for the looks!without it ewww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor1201 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Interesting but i cant believe the Wing has an aerodynamic influences what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_roger_uk Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 IIRC Triple A racing do a nice Baja wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Interesting but i cant believe the Wing has an aerodynamic influences what so ever. think about scale speeds a baja doing 45mph is closer to a car doing 120+mph meaning that rear wing will be having a genuine effect on the handling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor1201 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Interesting - so by removing the rear wing i could incorporate a few more MPH because of the less amount of drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonpower Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Interesting - so by removing the rear wing i could incorporate a few more MPH because of the less amount of drag. Just put the dam wing back on ok! Lol joking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor1201 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 naa too much plastic for my liking - maybe i shoud iinvest in a carbon fibre wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke1983 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've never seen a hpi baja with the wing off but some desert buggy look pretty cool without them. I think there's a Kyosho 1/7th you could google for an idea of what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 think about scale speeds a baja doing 45mph is closer to a car doing 120+mph meaning that rear wing will be having a genuine effect on the handling I'm afraid aero doesn't scale in quite this way.
