The rollover antenna is critical. I have seen newbies running 12th scale without them and when they traction roll -the car barrell rolls ever so quickly into the perimeter boards. Also-when they land on just the tops-they again slde forever and at high velocity.
That's so true! And with a rollover antenna the car usually lands on four wheels.
It got to be the fashion around here for a while to cut the rollover really short, like 2-3". I had to laugh every time one of those guys wound up upside down with the rollover acting as a kickstand!
