However, i'm starting to think that the Pro's 3mm carbon chassis and 2mm upper plate is just too darn stiff. Like I said in an earlier post, a friend's F60 F104 looks fine on the track without skipping and jiggling over the bumps and he's running the stock stiff black T-plate. My cars rear traction is OK but it does hook on some turns. I just might chop the front portion of the upper plate and see how that goes.
I would just go to stiffer springs up front. Are you sure your running the same tires as Keiji and Bob?
