Looking forward to the videos and well done on the new build.
Yeah, we'll definatly be putting a decent adjustable drag wing on the back but it shows the old duck tail must have been doing a fair bit.

I was hoping not to have to add any more weight though as we are already more than 210kg heavier than the 2 RB30 powered tube cars in Pro Import I like to compare myself with and will be racing against (they are both only about 10kg over minimum weight) but without a wing we'll not be going any quicker anytime soon and its a safety issue as you'll see when you see the vids, lol.
