1/10 spoiler on Z

This has probly already been atempted but check this out.... driving my cars yesterday after a nasty roll i noticed my wing on my RX-7 was broken...so i took it off..... noticing the holes were the same distance apart as that of my 1/10 scale buggy spoiler mounts i hooked it up... i put tape from the roof to the spoiler to hold it on... and then i put my 6 pinon on there and took it to the slickest place i could find, my Garage... ... ... damn this thing was bad... even with the smallest gear on there i couldnt doo donuts or even burn out... i could go 0-full throtle without sliding the least bit... realizing it is to big im in the process of making a lean double stack spoiler thats more proportioned... someone else should try this to understand how cool it was...lol...

so what did the spoiler do? add weight to the back end for better traction?

It should, cause aerodynamics don't really work at 1/28 scale.

i think it was a combo of both... ude bee suprised at how much aerodynamics work at any scale.... i know they do becasue i took the big one off and made a little custom lexan one... that didnt way much at all... and it still gives me much noticible better traction!

through my experiences a spoiler does make a difference with me even with all the hop ups I have on my Z for rear suspension. A medium sized double stac Spoiler can make a noticable difference in a drag race with an MZR and NML motor!
