;)USING THE AERO COMPONENTS Body Mounting and Rake Mounting the body correctly is very important. Fitting the body so the tires have good clearance (no rubbing) and centered over the tires is the first step to proper handling. If anything is rubbing or dragging there's no need to even make chassis adjustments, the car won't work right at all. Smooth, straight, clean edges every where around the body will be less disruptive to air flow creating more speed. Expose as little as possible of the body posts. It's popular to use buttonhead screws instead of body clips. Great aerodynamically...not as substantial in crashes….driver's choice.
Rake is the angle the body is mounted on front to rear. Very simple...Front lower, rear higher equals more over all downforce (if using a rear spoiler). Good for shout tracks. Front higher, rear lower equals less downforce over all and much less drag. Good for very long high speed tracks. Plus the infinite variations in between. Another subtle adjustment with "Rake" is the height of the rear spoiler.
