driving with body is difficult...
 
I recently got a Yokomo GT-4 RTR and Ive been driving it around pretty well while I have been painting the body for the past few days. Without the body, the cars stable as all hell. As soon as I put the body on, it was like a whole other car. definitely twitchy and unstable at high speeds. If I even get off a straight line a little bit will going fast, it starts an unrecoverable (for me anyway) swerve and begins to roll. Anyone have any advice? The body is sitting about a quarter inch from the ground and I have one 2 or so inch hole in the front another in the back. Everything is stock, including the body. Id appreciate any help.

am no expert but how big is the hole at the back because if its smaller the car can act like a hover craft because air is being pushed out under the car

hmm...
 
I would say it is slightly smaller. by maybe a half inch. think that could be enough?

its possible, I would suggest making the hole bigger. With my bodies I drill a bunch of small holes and it works fine.
