It was a triple, but I made it no problem without even sliding or flipping over. It just landed and stopped.

This is my second season racing it so it must have just gotten weak over time. When I first started racing last season I wasn't very good and would wreck a lot (broke a lot of the normal stuff), but never broke the chassis. I've gotten good enough now to where I make the A-main regularly out of 30 to 40 cars. Last Friday I placed third out of 30.

I did however make a change to the placement of the ESC and receiver to try and distribute the weight differently (just to see any benefits). As you can see from the picture the receiver is on the servo and I made a carbon fiber plate that bolts to the bottom of the rear shock tower for the ESC. I did sense that there wasn't as much body role.

Has anybody tried doing this before?
