tuning chassis generally refers to adjusting things like shock absorbers, spring rates, heights etc. You can tune any chassis to a certain degree but
most tube chassis cars have a lot of adjustabilty built into them like multiple pick up points for rear ladder bars etc etc. Tube chassis is generally
stiffer as well. Hope this helps. |

weight transfer is actually a problem in the real quick stuff. generally need to move weight forward when you start getting into 8's and lower. |

way they work.JVLRacing
