its unfortunate that my local carpet track uses wood covered with smooth plastic as barriers. I hit pretty hard, but if I hit with the graphite parts they ALWAYS break no matter what.

Once is switched to aluminum the car doesn't break, or rarely i snap the arm or bend a hinge pin. I am all over the track until I get the right setup.

anyways the issue im having with my rubber tire cyclone is that the rear end hooks around or does a complete 180 around corners.

Currently Im using the carpet/rubber tire setup from hotbodiesonline.com.
