S1d3ways, I have run mine on bumpy european tracks - Augsburg, Bamberg and in Italy (forgot which we were at) . They can be quite forgiving. Anywhere I have run 2wd Pan, these do better. I have slotted the rear body post holes slightly so the body will allow the chassis to flex without binding on the body. Where the Buri Spec tires are not enforced I usually run a shore or two lighter in front and rear tires, as the car will grip just fine but the softer shore also helps "suspend" the chassis.

I still.run a 1st gen car and am sure the newer ones will get you close to the full suspension cars.

Can not go wrong with a "Big" Pro10, lol.
