Since yesterday was a testing day for the upcoming comps,the rear bumper was giving me some huge desavantages at the leaving angle.Since it was getting hunged up on climbs,I decided to tuck it as musch as i could to line the body.2 holes drilled,and the problem vas solved,this is how it looks.More testing to be done on this car,as I want to peeform at its best Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Last edited by Traulus; 05-02-2018 at 02:46 PM. |
