now you've edited it there is some sense!

cutting sections out of back panels helps release the air quicker from under body and helps against parachuting effect but tbh even the fancy airflow designed shells don't help a massive amount on big jumps

getting weight distribution of chassis and balancing throttle helps more, trying to keep the nose flat is key on big air jumps

best advice is to start small with holes and test it, use a dremel on hole edges to stop splitting/cracking and obviously cutting holes can create weakness

Ripped a corner off my black beast the other night and it made such a difference to the handling of the truck. Might try the other corner next race!
