Re: Hot-trick Hotshot (RED clone)
the wing looks great.
so my big question is, are you going to run it?
i'd love to know how it handles.
nice work.

Re: Hot-trick Hotshot (RED clone)
Wow that car just looks better and better!
One question I have - what wing is that and is that available somewhere? The design is just right for race cars of that era. Current wings are a tad too fancy.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Hot-trick Hotshot (RED clone)
DF02 CVD were used in the front of this car. They are a bit longer than the original. Under extreme suspension compression, it binds the joint cup a bit.
My solution was to elongate the joint cups pin slot by about 2.5mm.
The photo showed right side being the original, the left side being the modified one.
With this mod, the CVD no longer binds![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Hot-trick Hotshot (RED clone)
nice! Is there a special purpose to the "M" shaped wing mount?

Re: Hot-trick Hotshot (RED clone)
Excellent question Bloodclod
The 'M' in the wing stand is for adjustability. The distance between the wing mount was 39.5mm, I found it not so easy to bend a 2mm wire to that exact distance. Bend a 'M' allows some adjustability with my less than precision hands.
Bring the car for 'show and tell'?.....
That was EXACTLY what I was planning to do
, pending some last minute agenda from my boss (aka wife)
