How do you get these cars to handle well? I'm running a f104x1 with tamiya hard fronts and soft rears and any time you give it throttle it spins out. I have been running pan cars for 15 years and have never had this problem that setup changes that setup changes won't fix. It will spin out randomly halfway down the strait too. This is the worst handling car I've ever run. Am I missing something ?

First and foremost get shut of the tamiya rubber and put on some pitz if you're a rubber kinda guy. Foam is still better imo!
How is the car setup? What motor are you running on it ?
These cars aren't easy to drive and you can't peg the throttle Willy nilly.
Even my f103 foam clad exotek can spin out if you peg the throttle. Gotta squeeze it in.

Soft spring, 15 to 20w oil, 3 hole piston, softest T plate with screw removed or backed out about 2 turns from touching o ring, 2000 diff lube or dry damper, perfect condition and loosest diff without letting it slip.
Black springs up front with kit setting on ride height.
OR JUST GET THE CRAP TAMIYA TIRES OFF OF IT.
Pit Shimizu 571 and 572 will fix most of your problem.
Don't worry about the description i.e. "Hard" rears. They are super grippy, hard must describe the sidewalls or something.
These mount on Tamiya's Foam type rims!

I've also ran the ride h1 tires too. For the most part I can control the car but I've let others drive it to try and expand the class and if they don't have much throttle control they can't drive it. For setup I have the rear as soft as possible if I go anything harder in the front than silver springs the car pushes so bad its undriveable. I have a 21.5 motor in it overgeared to take away torque. I understand these cars wernt made for performance but the ill handling is deffinatly going to chases people away from the class as its starting to at my track wich is carpet by the way. Will the pit tires really help and are the cheeper than the rides cause $50 for another set of tires is getting rediculous that's why I got the tamiya tires

I know some have recommended pit 0571 and 0572...I liked 0574 and 0575 better on my track.
