Like most VW's there is a lacky band a cable tie holding something together

my high tech is are double side tape and velcro

The original Ansmann 55mm shocks looked pretty, but were far too stiff and overdamped - hence the field upgrade with bits from the spares box. This helped the rear end, but the front was still very bouncy.
Also, the turning circle is similar to a oil tanker, so something needs to be done about that. I am thinking of installing a proper Ackermann setup (somehow). Also think the front might be a bit light, as I could pull wheelies with a Sport Tuned motor! Some spiky front tyres might help too.
