Re: 1st event with the awd geo ice racer

Re: 1st event with the awd geo ice racer

Re: 1st event with the awd geo ice racer
Thanks,pretty happy with how the car drove right from the shop.I must be getting pretty good at the baseline suspension set-up guessing
I set-up the rear suspension with rear steer,works great.

Re: fast VW bug a lt1 vette powerd
