I guess I'll have to change the wing, or to make a second one, with the angles. The fact is that car was sold under Mugen, Academy, Ryuz and Graupner. I've not seen much of Academy and Ryuz pictures, but it seems that the Ryuz one had a different body, a metal undertray (and no lateral decks), and potentially a different wing from what I saw. And I'm affirmative I saw some Mercury with no angled sides.terry.sc wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 10:01 am There is an amount of adjustment in the locking of the centre differential, similar to a slipper clutch. The different output gear sizes in the main gear means if the nut is loose you get 2/3 of the torque to the rear wheels under power, with 1/3 to the front wheels. This will give you more steering under power and under braking, as you will also have a rear bias in braking from the motor. Combined with the gear diffs the downside of running it loose is that if one wheel starts slipping all the power will go to that wheel. If the nut is tightened down so the centre diff is locked up you have both front and rear wheels locked together so the torque and braking is evenly split between front and rear and you get less steering. By adjusting the nut you can change how much slip you have, just like you can vary how much slip a slipper gives, which changes how the buggy drives through corners. Mine was adjusted so it is a little stiff but still works as I had a lot of steering on the grass surface we were racing on.
I also first thought the wing end plates were bent from storage as well, as you can see on my original wing here
But it shows the bends in the sides in the manual
The fact is as well, manual don't necessarily gets updated when change in production occurs for a reason or another (I have seen some examples of that in some other cars, where there is clealy at least 2 different versions within the same brand and there was no update of the manual between V1 and V2 - although the changes were there and clearly visible although not impacting the build). And here, while there was four versions of this car, I always only saw the Graupner manual online... Not that important anyway, as change wise this is quite easy to deal with in CAD...
