I don't need to tweak suspensions when i keep running into pipes and breaking... I'll tweak the suspension setup if the car doesn't handle right AFTER I learn how to take the proper lines.

you hit the pipes becuase your car isnt set up!
you cant hit the lines in a non set up buggy
when you do hit them you will be compensating for your crap set up
you are screwed!

That is absolutely WRONG. I hit the pipes because i take the wrong entry into a jump or take a turn too early. I broke the other day because I turned left too early on the straight and ran straight into the pipe. I landed on pipes after a jump because i took the jump crooked. That is not suspension setup, that is purely driver error.

Now if i can't put down enough power coming out of a straight without spinning or if my car bottoms on a jump causing it to crash, i'd agree then that the suspension setup needs a change or that the slipper clutch needs to be loosened.

Trust me mike, the mistakes in this case are purely driver error. Suspension setups don't correct taking the left hander coming out of a straight too early (or too late thus smashing straight into a wall). They don't correct taking the wrong line into a jump.
