Ok gotcha...yeah the elec tape might work...but for concrete the PVC works wonders!

its a buggy.... but im sure it can still work. you can also get electric tape andr wrap around the middle of the tires.
 
you might want to do double layer because last time i did this the tape wouldnt come off. probably because i wore off the plasticy parts and only left the glue. i just had to go out and keep accelerating braking accelerating until i wore off the glue. so do this to older tires.

i agree...the header fell off my car while i was running one time and even being 3 blocks away, my dad could still hear it from home...

ok, for all the engine tuning pros out there...when i squeeze my car to wot, it will run at that rate for a while, then start sputtering and struggling to stay alive...what could be causing this?

How long do you keep it at full thottle for? Well, does it transition well from idle-mid-top (seemlessly *if thats a word*) but it might be running lean so richen it about 1/8th-1/4 of a turn and see if that helps. Also check engine temp if you have a temp gun good if not put a little drop of water on the head it should buble away after like 4 seconds if it just sizzles right off TOO HOT if it just slowly evaporates TOO RICH.
 
ahh...i should check that...it usually happens when i try to hold the throttle down during a long straightaway...(yes, i kno running wot for a long time will kill the engine)...i did notice that the fuel foamed up alot...maybe i am running a bit too lean...i have a multimeter with a temp probe so ill check to see if its overheating or running way too rich...
 
I mean if ur going at top speed for like 20 seconds thats hard on the engine but, going wot to get to top speed then just chillin there for a few seconds it should be fine
 
I have the same problem that if its at WOT for more than like 2-3 seconds it cuts out, but as long as I get off the throttle it'll stay running! And that video makes me wanna go run mine right now, except its 3 A.M. so thats not a good idea. Also for drifting, look at this, theirs a video on the page, its pretty sweet, check it out! *actually I couldnt find the video, but its still pretty cool!
