I never said the car looks bad, but why does it have the back end off the ground on a flat piece of astro?

I have also said that if the car looks good will be the first to say so, i didnt think you would have a problem with that.

And you say people comment about how a car might not work with out seeing it. Well people cant but you can tell how a car will handle from the design features and the setups used. Some work well, others dont.

I must say I watched a few of these last Sunday and they took one hell of a battering from certain drivers.The only breakage I saw all day was a ball joint and that was at the end of the day when someone was having a go with another persons car.There were more broken xx4 and x5s

That track is actually rutted underneath the Astro - i think it's known as sleeping policeman??

I don't believe that the certain people that have commented badly on it - have looked closely at it, or seen it go or, even driven one.

Then perhaps go talk about it on there? either way it seems to be locked to normal people so maybe it's best to PM it since it's not for the general public?

The car looks to be really well balanced on that video garry.

That video was of me at Worksop. I feel i need to point out a few things, firstly the car was built the day before the meeting so was running kit set up. And secondly that was the first time i had raced off road since the ninties!! Its not really fair to make such assumptions about the car based on my feeble efforts!! Since then we have done a huge amount of work on the car and it has come on a lot. The biggest improvments since then have been over bumps and in the air(ask anyone at the last SE reagonal!!!!!). Which has been helped in part by the new bigger volume shocks(available any day now) but also we have improved the balance of the car through the corner and made it easier to drive. We will be posting the latest set up very soon. We will also make a vidio of our next test day to show how the car is going so you dont have to just take our word for it!
