ideas to stop evo7 wing shaking

mitsuozboi · Sep 27, 2005, 04:42 PM

I have an rrm evo VII ABS wing. It fits great and goes on tightly. its the center cross section that shakes up and down in the wind. I use rubber washers, foam tape, etc and it is adjustable and ive tried all angles. It still shakes up and down. Any ideas to make it more rigid?

Ive thought about either.....
1.wrapping cross section in fiber glass.
2.put a peice of sheet aluminum on the bottom.
3.angle iron on rear/top of cross section and form it to look like a lip. (from rob)

any opinions on these or any other options would be much apprectiated!

dont worry about it? lol jk but u could always just take the center part out n lay some more fiberglass on it to make it more structural sound, but i mean if u really wanted to i guess u could do idea #2 n make a bracket for the aluminium that goes under the spoiler to connect to the sides?

the fiberglass idea will make it look, if I do it good, like nothing was done..thats why I like that idea so much. Im thinking of doing mat and doing like 3 coats on underside of wing. may make it like 1/4 inch thicker I think. Think that would make it strong enouph?

hmm, is ur wing hollow inside? if it is maybe u should cut the underneath part fill it with like spray foam then do the aluminum idea?

drill 3 holes, 1 on each corner, 1 in middle. fill it with expanding foam (great stuff).

if that doesnt work wrap it in fiber glass, it would cover the holes and make it stiffer as well.

put some clear, low temp, silicon in each slot to take away from the area it has to move.

thats a typical polish idea for me but my spoiler was loose and i fixed it that way...plus the stuff peels right off if you want to get rid of it. you got nothing to lose.
