Also stiffer top and middle decks will work better to!! but try these one by one and learn what the car does as you go!! it will make you faster in the long run!! hope all this helps.
Good stuff, thanks for that. I think i'll give her a ground-up rebuild tonight and make some notes about where it is now, then start mucking about with some of your suggestions. One at a time of course
