Limitless Open wheel limitless aero??

[limitless202+]

Alright so we all know the open wheel isnt the best car for the aerodynamics, but i was wondering what would be the best combo for my car.
I currently have the raz wing top brace on it which is flat, but im wondering, what do i do to the front? Fins or no fins in the back?
@LibertyMKiii you the man for this stuff!

I'd trim a little off the front, but it is useful to keep some there.
It adds much needed front downforce and helps move air up and over the arms/suspension that are not aerodynamically shapped.

Alright thats what i was thinking, you need some or else when the car gets really moving the drag in the front will send it to the stars.
what about the rear? You saying fins or no fins?
fins add stability, but they also add drag, im not sure.
(i think keep the fins but it is always good to have someone else as a backup voice)

On another note, the Raz wing will perform better if you round the front leading edges.

Shape #2 vs Shape #4

Alright, the stock fins are closer to the raz wing, so ill start with them.

im saying this thread is about over, so heres a cute dog.

For the stock wing, you take it down to the last line.

So you think DEAD flat might not be the best way to do it like the raz top brace is?

Interestingly enough, I felt more stability running my Limitless without the front on. And I saw some speed gains as well.

I’m not sure how that will carry into speeds above 140mph though.

I'd leave it with some minimal rear wing until you get a feel for the car and get it up over 130 mph.

"Contoured" upper suspension arm covers..
to achieve some frontal down force without too much drag?

We gotta get on that project so people can buy them from us. 99.9% of people won't make their own custom parts like we do..... We are the weird people in this world that don't fit the norm.

I like weird.

Ill be the 1st on that list!
If you guys can make streamlined frontal li it less components, that could be the key to getting The limitless open wheel past the 300KMH mark (186mph)

Love all of that except the Apple logo LOL
Not a fan of their products.

Slightly off topic/model-

Here's what I'm referring to..
This is the "Aero Arm Covering" (for the Vendetta) >

Just a rough Block Draft, doesn't have any aero design shapes/bits added yet..
Mainly for fitment testing.

Looks great! The 6s arms are a pain in the butt because of the "hump" as I call it.

The hump?….. ALRIGHT ALRIGHT we all gotta call it the hump from now on. Best name for that stupid thing.

That if it is printed in CF?

I wouldn't think that CF is necessary as it isn't a load bearing part. It's just functional decoration, as it were. It might even be advantageous to print it in something with a fair amount of pliability so that it can flex with the arm without breaking.

Not really..
Since it's not replacing the stock upper link... This part will not be taking any heavy loads.
