anyways..my friend was tried of running left..so we went on the track and turned right!! haha..then those stupid idiots were like..YOUR FU*KING UP THE GROOVE!!
so funny!
totally agreed ...
what's "radio control" for oval racing ? the skill will be so unique and your hands will only need to function on one side ... ... i'd rathter say home and read books if my home track is oval shape ... ...

They are getting their graphite from a new place now, and they only do front-back side-side weaves, nothing diagonal which is why the car has a lot of flex.

flex is good for belt car but bad for shaft car.

Good to an extent, I usually like the car to be stiff no matter which it is...

agree that you need a stiffer chassis especially for carpet.
