Thats essentially what removing flex does just the opposite. It makes your car that is flexy and freezes it so things arent moving like water aka waves over it.
Thats a pretty sweet analogy!

Just from reading this thread and taking in peoples ideas on how the car reacts to these specific adjustments I'm starting to come to the same conclusion, you cant tone down the darty/pointyness of the car without allowing for a little chassis twist and as hara has proven, quite a lot! this to me says the suspension needs further development to allow for much stiffer chassis, giving you full control and adjustment for which suspension geometry was intended, you just cant do this with the chassis.
Its pretty cool that racers have come to compensate for things like this and are trying different braces, chassis etc to basically go faster. As fastharry says by experimenting and improving our cars ourself like this its only gonna entice HPI to keep on developing the car.
