you can try adding pullback wheels for a bit more stability, but those only help up to a certain speed.
sometimes too fast is just too fast.

He's right, TOO MUCH SPEED

Some motors are pretty much for Drag Racing.

You made need to tone the speed down a little, you can't expect to go full speed and then hit a turn and not flip.

Remember Zip Zaps are a little higher than those other Mini R/C Cars.

But then again its fun flipping and crashing.

I dont have that many problems with flipping over anymore. I use fetted cars with 4.2's and normal cars alsowith 4.2's and they dont flip.

I now also use spirngs instead of the stabalizer bar. I think alotof it could also be driving technique and the booster cars to slow down abit in the turns.
