So a car i have wanted to have finally came my way. I tuned it and thought it was great. Then i dropped it. It hit the floor hard. Picked it up looked it over and was happy to find no visual problems. Mind you i actually put a lot of time into this car. It’s now way faster. Handles better,i have no idea why. Any one else have this happen? :auto-layrubber:

Is the body mount looser? Check the posts for cracks or even a missing screw. It might even have shifted its drive gear to a better position.

"Super tuning secrets" :D
My 1:1 dirt mod got a flat left front at the beginning of the feature one night,
didn't bust a brake line, ran the feature that way & gained a bunch of spots.
So............... :think: We re-thought the cross weight set-ups from then on. ;)

You guys and your wacky tuning tips.
So am I supposed to drop it before or after truing the tires?
