Read the conclusion, there is a big mistake
"The reason is quite simple: R/C cars are too small and go too fast"
RC cars do not go too fast they do 'scale' speeds and weight has nothing to do with it.
They actually go relativly slowly cornering at under 40 miles an hour (do they even get up to 40mph on the straights on some tracks)
Aero dynamics only come into effect at SPEED, (google inverse square law), this is the reason you only see race cars running spoilers, yes a formula 1 car can theoreticaly stick to the ceiling upside down at 200mph BUT the spoilers would have virtulaly no effect at 50 mph, its the same with plane areo foils, for a jet to take off it has to go very FAST due to having small wings, for slow speed take off ie gliders, planes employ massive wing spans and still need a reasonable speed.
Spoilers look cool but dont really work, when was the last disscusion you saw regarding wing angles on a car doing under 50 mph ?
