I agree with this very much. The front end shape has a minor bearing on the handling, but my belief is the wing shape and size has a huge bearing. The position of the rear wing in relation to the rear wheels also makes a fair difference (see Crowd Pleazer for example)
The side plates for the wings I believe are intended to improve straight line stability some people are leaving them off to encourage the car to rotate quicker.

We had been running this Stratus 1 for quite a long time, so I feel pretty familiar with how it works, even with many suspension changes. With the new Volvo S60, I wasn't actually expecting anything to be different . . it's was just a new body to replace the well worn one, after all.
I can only guesstimate this, but I now think we had too much rear downforce on the Stratus, and there was probably increased drag as a result.
It therefore seems likely, that playing with wing settings/positions could be a half reasonable tuning parameter.
My point about the end plates was to differentiate between the integral ones that are part of most standard wings and the addition of the full plates that extend below the horizontal section of the wing.
The theory being that to discourage air flowing off the sides of the wing, those plates should really extend below the wing also, since it is not just the top surface that provides the downforce.
I dare say that some straight line stability is afforded by the end plates, but would expect that improving the efficiency of the wing is the primary motive.
But, yeah, I could see that by removing the end plates the body could still generate sufficient down force at higher speeds, but as the speed comes down, the effectivness is quickly reduced and this allows the car to rotate more easily. I dare say, that when faced with a car that is not rotating fast enough, we would typically alter suspension settings to achieve the desired result. Maybe we should really be adjusting the "Aerodynamic Aids"
I wonder if anyone ever put one of these R/C body's in a wind tunnel.

I dont think you will come near my car 
Why would I give all my secret way to you guys for that not racing it is the best team on the day you don't see Holden racing team giving there secret to the Ford racing team.
Buy the way the handling of the is a lot better with the mods and it has made an improvement to my lap times.

i atomic i am also a vone rr driver and i think its a very fast car once you got it right, i was using a set up from a person who is a good mate of mine from sydney and the car is one of the fastest rr out at the track i drive!, but i also drive a ntc3 and they also a great car after the mods i done eg. rear toe and the shock tower fix and the steering and the tank mods. i was out at the track during the week with it and i was pulling low 19sec laps with it, but i was running a jp s1 with all new jp s3 parts in it and i had the motor running about 195 degrees and the thing was fully sreeming down main straight with full throttle into the sweeper!!!!
Oh and I am not your "mate".
There are many people interested in your "mods" who are going to Brendale this Sunday. You better hide your car good.

from what I recall you were always coming and looking at my car and remember for awhile I was the only one out at the track with the Kyosho
