Default High down force pro-line wing

Is anyone running the pro-line high down force wings on there buggies? Can you feel a difference with the wing on? I just bought one and wanted some ideas if there the way to go. Its way to cold to run anything around here yet. I just thought someone on here has tried it and most of the time you guys are right on when you talk about the things you have tried. Please help me if you can, any help would be good because I won't have to to pratice before its time to go racing. Would like to know if I should even mess with these wings??

if you have a choice, get it over the standard one. you CAN (at least I can) feel a difference. it keeps the rear much more planted and more level in flight.

oh, plus it looks a whole lot cooler [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

I have one but have not installed it yet. I all so wonder how much difference it makes and if it makes the nose rise during flight?

I use one. I got it to keep my back end planted on a high speed sweeper. I also angled the hell out of my wing adjustment on my car though as I installed the proline high downforce.

During jumps the car stays about the same as it always has. Every once in a while, depending on where you hit the jump, you'll still get a noser, not very often. The wing definately helped me keep the back end down in the sweeper though. I can't be for certain it was all the proline though, as I adjusted the angle of the wing. The stocker may have done the trick.

A side note, I haven't broken the wing yet. Its got 2-3 gallons or so on it.

Blue groove track, so crashes are pretty rough.

just saying that the wing has lasted for a while. I was letting you guys know its a blue groove track so the crashes are like concrete. Its rock solid no give.

Just saying the pro-line high downforce is a good wing. It helped keep the back end down and its proven to be pretty tough for me. I don't crash all that often bad, but once in a while I have a pretty good wreck.
