Wing settings

**RollingThunder** · May 9, 2015, 07:49 AM

For those who track and have the factory wings, what is your experience as to the best settings for the wing angles? Leading edge tilted all the way down, all the way up or somewhere in between?

I've had them at both extremes and honestly can't tell any substantial difference seat of the pants or laptimes....

I've run with the wings and without.Same car,same day..same tires etc etc. No difference..the factory wings are there for looks on the Atom.(yes,they are cool) The one thing I added that actually did increase downforce (actually measured with angle sensors on the control arms at Watkins Glen) was..a windshield.Lap times were faster as well. The only thing an Atom lacks is proper aero and downforce.

GoodAero developed front and rear wings that actually develop downforce for the One Lap Atom. The factory wings are just for looks.

Quote from inquiry to GoodAero re: Spec Racer Wings:

"On our development car (the One Lap Atom), the driver beat his previous best ever at Road Atlanta without wings by a full 4 seconds in the first session! When the car was later driven by Charles Espenlaub, he told us that the wings transformed the handling from that of a go-kart to a formula car."

Needless to say I'm getting them. I don't run in the Spec series since Vegas is a 24 hr tow from Vancouver. I'm also looking into the turbo for the K24.

What's the approximate pricing on the GoodAero Wings for an Atom 3S, if I might ask?

I was told $8K. I have not committed to them given that price point and I'm looking at other options (non-factory.)

Look up hadron xr on Twitter. He is going to have a kickstarter in a few weeks. Offering products that will fit the atom. I'm still trying to figure out how he says he will be offering the nomad frame for sale.
