I can't be THAT hard on cars....
In doing some barrel rolls tonight on my track with the new car (speed baby!!), I managed to break my SECOND wing. I broke one last week on my civic, and now the wing on my Supra broke.
Seems like the plastic is not the best, you guys breaking any too?

To replace the original car I had with the supra body (I broke the steering in it), the new car I opened tonight, with the new Turbo I also opened tonight, the car is FLYING.
On my track, the surface is SO good (too good IMO) that when I come down the front straight with the new car with Supra body, and I make that first sharp right hand turn, if I did not let off of the gas before entering the turn, she was doing some barrel rolls.
I run the stock tires on the track as they seem SUPER sticky, and I could not believe it. That was the first time I had rolled a zap.
Makes me wonder why it is SO much faster than my previous 2 with identical bodies, gearing and engine...don't really care, cuz she be FLYIN!!! Why ask why?!?!

Barrel Rolls
The same thing happens with my Zips. With new batteries and either the turbo or NOS motors, they will barrel roll. This can be helped with tires but if you are on a long enough straight with enough grip, they will roll no matter what.
I have a Microsizer that does the same thing. But that can be attributed to a bad front end.

You probably already know this, but if you put harder tires up front it wont traction roll in the turns.
