In general what do you thing the Terminal Velociti is before the rear lifts on pan cars, one main factor is would this make a difference in drag racing where I hit 57mph and potential 70mph runs.GeneralZod wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 8:21 pm Having the rear cutout creates a vacuum under the car that keeps the rear tires planted. If there is no cutout, the car will have a tendency to lift at high speeds and possibly flip. It happened to me a few times until I cut out the panel.

Re: Car#9 RC10LSS ‘IDENTITY CRISIS’
I think you are well over the speeds that would induce lift. The plastic bag quote is accurate.KidAgain wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 10:26 pmIn general what do you thing the Terminal Velociti is before the rear lifts on pan cars, one main factor is would this make a difference in drag racing where I hit 57mph and potential 70mph runs.GeneralZod wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 8:21 pm Having the rear cutout creates a vacuum under the car that keeps the rear tires planted.

Re: Car#9 RC10LSS ‘IDENTITY CRISIS’
I'm partial to the old school look of a full antenna, but regardless I love your build with all the old school touches, especially the pink straps with the fiberglass, and the gold wheels, nice!

Re: Car#9 RC10LSS ‘IDENTITY CRISIS’
I think I’m going to run this body for the drag setup I think it’s pretty aerodynamic, the nascar lumina body will be for street duty.

Re: Car#9 RC10LSS ‘IDENTITY CRISIS’
That body has a lot of downforce. I love the shape of it though and the colors

Re: Car#9 RC10LSS ‘IDENTITY CRISIS’
4” was to big my mistake maybe a 2.5-3” would be better so I just found some new pink vintage straps but they are for old style saddlepacks tight fit.DropDeadKustoms wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 3:49 pm What size pure tech straps did you end up going with?

The body was a score definitely
