Rolling your car.

Last night after I cleaned my wood floors, I got out my RallyRacer w/ racing gears and the AMAZING R-SPEC. On some turns at maximum speed I was rolling my car completely over where it was landing back on its wheels. Has anyone else been able to do this with their R-SPEC?

I was able to do this a number of times. I did it once in front of my nephew, now he'll never race me!

similar problem,

I bought a clone for each of my daughters(3), then one for myself. The one I got had only a 1.0, so I did a dual cell in-body mod.

Now the darn thing move so fast that any little bump or steering correction causes it to roll like a race car doing 120mph.

Now my daughters won't race with me.

I went out to the garage to see how fast I could go, I swept the floor, and after a few runs I notice that there were little black marks on the floor.

I checked my tire's and they were chewed up and had the little rolls of rubber hanging off of them just like you see on top fuel draggsters after they do their burnout.

Too Funny.

Can you blame them.


It only happened to me with tires with good grip and a good surface with a tall antane, but never out of speed.

i had an external dual cell (inside a Bb body) and i couldnt STOP the bastard from rolling, now i did an internal dual cell inside a gloria, and it rolls out of speed, but SO MUCH LeSS its to the point that i can take turns @ near full speed, if i widened the stance a little bit, i coudl stop it form rolling all together

Try spring suspension.
It makes a big difference in the way your car handles.

And the higher center of gravity is the main reason I don't do the multi-battery mod. If I do attempt it, it will be an internal job.

I'd say it rolls like a race car at 150, cuz my civic handles rather solidly at 120

Hit 125 racing a VR6 coming back up to college after Christmas break, then maintained that speed for about 15 miles before dropping to around 110. Cruised at 110 for about 45 minutes.

It was pretty damn stupid. But fun as hell! BTW I beat the VR6, but he tried to keep up for the rest of my speed run anyway...hehe, sucker.

Both my cars roll, but only sometimes do they do perfect rolls. I use either low gears or tap the boost button to slow down.
