Loose top deck = tight handling

In an effort to gain a little more traction on slippery surfaces, many electric touring-car racers loosen the screws that secure the upper deck to the chassis to allow more chassis flex. But the screws can vibrate loose and get lost if they are not tightend down all the way. Apply thread-lock to the screws, and then tighten them as necessary. Most racers will tighten the screws all the way down and then back them out 1⁄4 turn.
