Ok have a project going on that I've wanted to try for a bit (just for fun). I have the Hara Hammer conversion and finishing it up. Few things I've noticed. The chassis seems very thin and has a lot of cut outs giving the car some twist. I'm assuming the car was originally designed for asphalt (at least my kit) and not very good for carpet? Next the is two white rectangle clamps that go around 2 silver aluminum rectangle posts that are centered in large springs. The white plastic pieces have 2 screws that adjust (?) the tension of the clamping around the silver rectangle posts. Even with the screws backed out all the way, it seems they grab quite a bit, is this common and do I leave it that way or is some adjustment/work needed to be done. Since there is no other noticeable side dampening I'm assuming that is what they are for, but seems like an odd way to dampen it. Looks like the rear pod just free floats side to side with this design? Any help with the car would be great.
