Hi Ova & Friends,
It is true, the Barracuda is very fast indeed, however if you do not have a good setup for your particular track you might find it is too reactive and therefore difficult to drive. This is only because you have too much weight transfer
Besides making sure your diff/s are in good working order (not too tight or too loose), a very important thing to check is your droop settings
Droop settings limit the amount of weight that is transferred front to rear, left to right, etc and thus making your car very stable. We just recently managed to find an excellent setup for the R3 for outdoor asphalt racing and will posting it here shortly
