I had one of those - the downforce was so great on the first run that the car flipped over and it wrecked the wing on the first try. Too bad, its a cool looking wing.

Thanks for the input. It sparked a memory of why I never installed it. You needed to mount it forward of the rear axle to control the downforce, but it killed your control in the air.

That is what I thought. Don't know why I would have bought them. Never owed a pan car. Probably for an AE car though.

More likely a CC Predator Lynx, though I've never seen them in plastic....especially not green.

The bellcranks look like they are from when CC took over Houge. Board member Ruffy posted pics of some of his green ones a few years back. They all still had Houge Enterprises written on them though.

Cool. Something else to read up on. The bellcranks are cool to look at but pretty cheap. The set that I opened was blue and the plastic was pretty soft.

Finally found my bodies. Body 1 & 2 came with the Graphite car i bought.
Body #3 was the original that came with the kit. And a really bad attempt at a fade paint job
Body #4 was my primary racing shell. Slightly better paint job.

I also have a sidewinder body will in its original bag. The photos I shot did not come out so I will try again later
