I hope someone understands what I mean. Roughly, making the Short course body a closed up shell with forced airflow underneath the chassis itself?
I have made an under tray that completely covers the under side of the truck. Something like the under side if a sports car(full size). You still have to jump correctly. When you leave with the nose in the air it is actually harder to correct because the plate becomes a flat air stop and slows the truck down. With holes in the body like we most have it can at least bleed off the air. Now if you leave correct with the nose more down the truck slides through the air better and farther. You must not leave the face of the jump on the throttle. The truck will jump correct and land better in my testing.
