I have bought some shock absorbers to improve the handling, the actual ones don't have a damper, they are only a spring and a very stiff spring (1200 lb/inch). Tomorrow i will post some pictures of the udaptes!
Just the upper half of a 'tank',with enclosed wheels is preferred for low drag,but if you must have exposed wheels,then a belly tank-type body would be a good second choice.
Bob Rufi was the first to race a belly-tank car,on California's dry lakes
