i think is better to do aerodynamic for decreasing air resistance when moving forward... however, i don't think aerodynamic producing down force will suitable for mini 4wd( speed car).
1. F1 need it for corner, because F1 using steering to turning corner... mini 4wd using track to turn, so why mini 4wd need downforce to corner??
2. if you study more, you will know aerodynamic might produce downforce, over done will slow down the F1 car on straight...do you think you wan't your mini 4wd to slowdown on straight?
3. racing is all about balance....
4. i actually let my car high let the air go into the bottom...also, the cover actually produce lifting force, in this case, i no need to cut a lot from my car... the lifting force help to reduce the weight...and i can maintain my car strengh...
If you talk about aerodynamic for mini 4wd, i think this is better and more useful for mini4wd... speed car only... jump car might be diff story...
haha my bad i'm like more referring to technical type... cuz we want to jump properly during jumps... for speed without jumps of cuz we dun use dowforce cuz it will slow the car down, more better we find a way to make the car cut through the air(aerodynamic)...
erm how does the cover produce lifting force?? first time hearing this, mine to explain a little more detail?

Guys...let's play super technical track. Why so obsessd with speed?
Different covers have different effect. U have to try all of them to know the differences.just looking at them and coming up with theories just won't cut it.
For me cars with smaller diameter is easier to set for jumps. Large diameter is suitable for speed. BUT whatever it is, I have been proven wrong by the sifus here a lot of times.
haha thats why most of the cars i see using medium size.. not too big not too small, for technical la but for speed all hentam super large only...
