After many days of rain and giving the track time to dry I headed out and the first turn on the track proved to be a bad one. Seems that while it was raining I was working on a new body for my Storm and wanted a nice tight fit, (too tight), so tight that it prevented the steering to work properly and couldn't turn left/right very far. So, learn from my mistake. Make sure those clearances are there before you head out.
 
Ouch thats on mistake i'll make sure i never do.You didn't drive it did you ?If you did,did it crash ?
 
No crashes, but bad handling all day. I didn't discover it until I got home and cleaned it. Just got the dremel out and did a little trimming and things were good.
 
I only run without my body when its super hot outside...If its not then the body goes on..Oh ya and I always use a body while jumping...I usually never use one when i drive on Road.
 
Ya, I do now cause last time I flipped it up a curve. Good thing I had zip ties on the head.
