Love how you can fix tweak by twisting the chassis with your hands

But I'm not dissing the car in anyway. My lap times are right there with the other high end cars. Just some kinks that need to be straightened out. Just wish it was lighter. My car is 1420g, while the other cars are just above 1350g. The CF reinforced parts are lighter, I really hope tamiya releases them soon.
You can try shoogoo-ing a piece of cutter blade break-off at where the grub screw lands on, hat will help prevent it from digging into the chassis and give a bit more accurate reading.
