I've heard people say, oh a wing really isn't helping on those little cars, trust me, you can't hardly drive without one. Especially a pancar.

Aerodynamics makes a HUGE difference in onroad. Ask anyone who's driven a 12th scale on asphalt. If you slow down and lose airflow over the body, then you lose about half of your traction, too. One of the keys to staying hooked up on asphalt in 12th scale is carrying speed through the turns so that you don't lose that downforce. 8)

Also if you oil up your tires with 20w50 you can get a lot more grip going into the turn off throttle :mrgreen:

Just thought I would throw that little nugget out there for you guys, if you need anymore tips don't be afraid to ask

Last time I looked over your car, you didn't have the flux capacitor balanced correctly with the henway.
