Force Fed

Anybody make one for the FC? I did a search a while back and didn't really find anything on it. Forgot about posting about it till now. I'm not really sure what the proper name is for them, I can see it in my head but can't name it. Ducktail maybe? Not a lip spoiler, longer than that. I'll see if I can find a pic of what I'm thinking of somewhere. I don't want an aluminum one though, looking for a 'glass or composite wing I can paint to match.

Something like this is what I'm looking for. Not necessarily that exact wing, but something similar that would look good on an FC.

duckbill is the lip spoiler, and actually works to reduce drag. you might be thinking of a whale tail spoiler by the picture you posted, and from what I gather most people here hate those with such a burning passion that it may be hard for you to find one here. but they do exist, and even if they don't, where there's a will, there's a way.

dude try www.raceonusa.com for the "wangan" type spoiler, i think that may be what your lookin for.

I've seen a race-track version. Use the good old bench wing but make your own mounts so it extends BACK not up.

kinda like this but it's even with the top of the rear end and goes out farther:

For the kind of power that you can make with these cars it'll only slow you down. The need for traction lessens as speed increases, the downforce and drag of a wing increases as speeds increase. So it does nothing when you need it most (launch) and only hurts you when you need it least (top end).

Done right at a shallow angle a spoiler can help reduce drag, but a wing will increase drag.

No no no, not the whale tail, I'm one of those "haters w/ a burning passion" you speak of I can't stand the whale tail for the FC.

I've seen the Wangan wing, it's not bad but also not what I'm looking for. The Wangan looks like a extended stock wing to me. And I don't want a aluminum wing, I don't like that look on these cars. I wish I could find a better pic.

And just to clarify, I'm really just want this type of wing for the look, not because I want mad tyte downforcez at 150 or anything like that Although I'll take any reduction of drag I can get at any speed Maybe I'll search for duckbills and see what I come up with.

S4 Sport model.

Well no wonder I couldn't find it on search, it's in the Audio/Visual section

That's close, looks like a Mazda wing, well says Mazda right on it. I can't really tell how good it looks w/ the angle the pics were taken at, looks okay in some and not so good in others. Maybe I'm just too picky

I'm finding mentions of an R-Magic duckbill on Google, but no pics. FDNewbie site comes up in the search but says 404 when you click it I'm sure it's a pretty rare hard to get piece, but does anyone have a pic of it?

Force Fed

You talking about the black lip spoiler? Those are okay too, thought about running one of those but I'd really like something a little bigger that I can also paint to match.

phoenix7

yeah, I was going to play around later and attempt to make a larger version. The S4 sport wing looks better than any other wing IMO. Close second: the GP sports rear wing.

Force Fed

Ooh, I like that one a lot. Still to see the R-Magic though. I'd like to find one that extends out just a bit more.

Yeah I know, I'm being nitpicky. But, I have a certain look I'm wanting, and it's hard to translate into words. That GP wing is pretty nice though, it's definitely a contender if I can't find the exact look I'm looking for.

If you are DIY person, Hypertech had a write up on here where he was making an extended version of the sport wing.

That carbon drag wing is probably more what you are aiming for though.
