I kept mine pretty tight on dirt but on a road course machine it had to be a bit loose. The tires had so much grip it would push pretty bad under power. It was funny to hear all the 1/10 scale cars squealing around the corners. The tires would last a couple nights of racing before they were shot.

I had two bodies painted in the "Pink Cow" scheme based on the 944 with said livery. It was custom made by me. Belt drive, 911 style rear suspension, handmade links and geometry for the front suspension. Worked great on a sticky track, but tricky on tracks with less traction. Crashed it so hard once that the balls in the diff dented the plates in the diff. It was hard on the u-joint half shafts but they were much smoother than a regular dogbone.

Now the batteries and motors are o much better I don't know if I could drive competitively any longer.
