Common Community Tuning Fixes
Because this model is highly resistant and very lightweight, enthusiast racers on forums like SlotForum note that it can suffer from "deslotting" (flying off the track) under heavy braking. Popular modifications include:
Gluing and truing the rear tires, or replacing them with higher grip aftermarket tires (such as Ortmann 37U).
Adding 20 grams of lead weight low down on the chassis right behind the front guide blade to improve front-end stability.
Applying zero-grip coating to the front tires to prevent over-steering crashes
