trash talking....??? Dont let your mouth write a check that ass can't cash....
No, for real, it is flat latex ineterior paint on top of luan.
I run meds and softs, which helps get more bite to turn a bit sharper...
I put soft suspension bars in, but they turn wider than hards....thought it was the opposite...

cool deal!
this is my theory on the suspension bars...
stiff suspension helps a stiff tire bite
soft suspension helps a soft tire bite
it makes sense.
harder, slicker tires are less forgiving, and therefore need a less forgiving suspension to force them in place and to track right. the tires have less give and are able to use the force to help stick to the surface.
now if you had that same less forgiving suspension bar, and this time the softer, grippier tires that are more forgiving, the suspension bar would put too much force on the tire, encouraging the tire to slip and lose its bite and track.
now that's figuring you're doing hard corning on a smooth surface.
but then again not too many peeps are racing bits off road so the theory seems to hold true for most bit driving conditions. or at least it does in my eyes. lol
