Default Is tweak an issue in offroad?

When building my old carbon chassised touring cars there was a huge emphasis on building them with no tweak at all in the chassis during each stage, and then after each run.

At a high level or racing does the same apply in 10th offroad? or do you just sort tweek out with the shocks etc rather than the chassis?

Thanks

I would imagine that you don't really want tweak for off-road racing, but it will not be as noticeable on a touring car, since the car is mainly bouncing off bumps and jumps. The best drivers will feel that their is something wrong with the car, but it can be fixed with a carbon plate chassis, by undoing the chassis screws, and letting the chassis 'untwist'...

And since off racers are not nearly so anal and don't blame everything on miniscule things wrong with their cars

I thought if touring car racers didnt have a very good run they would just stick a faster motor in. Probably a 2.5 brushless motor geared on a 35
