Default Height of car

OK look ive been wondering, does the height of the car matter??


like is it easier to get the car to drift when it is closer to the ground or when the car is higher off the ground??

smooth surface ride it low- moderatly rough throw it medium- if the track has gravel or rocks that could cause a bounce screw that spot and find another

um well the body weights like 3oz or something like that the only thing would be the aerodynamics which i wouldn't imagine would make a differance really at all for drifting i think that the best thing you can do is get good drift tires....well try it out and tall me what you find out.

The lower it is can help to initiale a drift but if you raise it alittle, that car will have more control in the drift.
