I have 2 of those and they're cool...but... They flip over on almost any turn unless you're going real slow. They do come dual celled though.

Yeah, wish I could say I have driven it tho, had ZERO time to play w/ my cars since the baby/move but that should be all settled very soon.

Something you might try are some really small outrigger-type pontoons. Could just be a small L-shaped piece of styrene. Hue and I noticed that the Perfection VW busses corner surprisingly well considering their high center of gravity. It's because the body hangs so low to the ground that the edge of the body will skim the ground and keep it from tipping.

Yeah I brought them with out a trailer and right now it takes off faster than my regular bit clone. Im trying to find a nice flat bed that i can put some of this stretchy string stuff i have that way i can use it to be a hauler for my regular bit, kinda like a racer set up. As for the L shaped peices i'll try that tonight if i can find some material to work with, but im hoping the weight of the trailer slows it down enough to turn with out flipping also it should stabalize it more so that will help. biggest thing im working on now is finding a way to get more ground clerance i got like a 1/2 centimeter clerance up front
