A friend (marcos) told e to get a neutral body. I did and it worked. I cant say i completely understand aero yet but a body switch stopped my car from losing the rear. Not trying to argue. I was right with you a couple weeks ago. Maybe a body will make me fast but i am happy it gave me the grip I needed.
I don’t think I’d call where I’ve run at high speed. The carpet track is too small. I’m not sure how big the parking lot tracks will be this weekend. I’ll have to bring my measuring roller. . I seen videos from a Florida track. Looks nothing like what we have. Once did, but it closed before I got there.



I’ve got a few bodies that I bought with the plans to compare. Unfortunately on road was in bad place most of last year. Both an outdoor and indoor track closed. Things are just now starting back up. While I can practice on the carpet track. It looks like most racing will be outside for the summer
