Actually, I may ditch this chassis for an extended one, or a Zap chassis. (more room) The reason being I usually can't get my single cell cars going fast enough to jump very high, or to accelerate hard enough to get any wheel hop. I can't hammer my tricell booster Zap all the way on my kitchen floor tight weave carpet, because I get wheel hop like 1/2 inch high. Rear suspension may help alot. I also jump my multicell cars like 5-8" tall and 1-1/2' long. The landing 'may' be smoother, I dunno. I have noticed that with the front suspension, when I turn hard one way or the other, one of my rear wheels is off the ground. (the inside one) maybe I can get a bit better tracking if I can make it flex a bit more.

The foam idea is fantastic, if I can't make a coil light enough, I may try it. I want about 3/4mm to 1mm of sag in the rear. That's usually how I set up the front.
