The main goal with all these home made cars is its fun to build and compete with something you made by yourself. Also to test some theories regarding weight distrubution, mass rotating around its center of gravety/weight center, acceleration of rear end sideways (mass x force)and so on...

Driving the car with modified front and rear top deck`s helped traction quite alot ,but made the car a little unpretictable. I ended up with a standard rear top deck and a modified front top deck. Car was good, but i think that just removing the crossmembers of the top deck in the rear would be enough to help get mor traction....so anoyone thinking of doing the same, just remove the cross-member at the rear top deck, and try it at low grip tracks

Yeah, more flex = more grip. For those interested you can also buy something similar readily made by Diggity Designs, called "Super Flexy Upper Deck":
