It handles all the bumps great! I did not hear the buggy bouncing around at all. It would stick all of the landings without bouncing. I turned in one of my best laps despite the terrible conditions! I cant wait to get my buggy on the track when it is race prepped and watered. I do have one question: what does drilling the rebound pistons do. I have 1.4 all aorund do to a mistake I made when I got them but it handled fine.
it increases rebound speed.
