Re: TOP HEAVY!!!!

Has it occurred to you to not go over the bump?
Use the ramps... or do you have a problem there too..??

Having those big CIMS up high is where to start... see if you can bring them down or use a lighter alternative motor...

But first put your bumpers on and see if you still have the problem

You don't have to go over the bump...
You can play the game by going over the ramps...

There is danger going over the bump... you can be defended and knocked over..(not as strategy...but defense being played....)

On your own ramp you cannot be defended...

just a thought...
