I race at the same track as Mr Magoo and mtc3od and I think one issue we have is with the track itself.
Our 'boards' are actually 3"x3" wood. Some stick out at prety steep angles, a good hit on some of those is the same as hitting a brick wall.
That being said, the 05 did not tweak under these conditions.
I too had some bad tweaks and also pulled off in the second round due to a really bad tweak which was the result of a rear end punt (not hitting the boards).
mtc3od's servo is fine, it was fine in all the subsequent races, and he had a great A main.
Trust the people on here who are seeing a lot of tweak. This design does tweak easily.

I have enough ribs to go round, but they won't work.
BTW,
Colts/Bengals fans can feel better knowing they lost to the soon to be SuperBowl champs.

props to xray for a great car and larry for some stronger parts....

If you use countersunk washers on the top deck...it will help resist tweak.

My car tweaked every race this weekend. 5oz off on the scales. I barley breezed a flapper, didnt even mess up my line and the car went to crap my laptimes dropped off a second a lap. The boards at are local track are some of the most forgiving in the business. I'm gonna put it on a shelf till a solid chassis and topdeck come out. Back to my freakin dialed 05'

For the rear toe:
Make sure to measure the lower suspension mount spacers with a calipers, I found that some of the aluminum spacers were 1.5mm while others were 1.4mm. Used not equally left/right might yeild a little different toe angle.
