Well my F1R ran pretty good today...right up until my rear tire shredded. I am finding though that the fronts seem to not quite have enough grip and I have quite a bit of push. I found running quite a bit of drag brake to get the front to bite has been working but I'd like a bit more grip up front. Any other tire suggestions to get this to work better?

I measured out the exotek posts and noticed their OD was 5.5mm. After carefully reaming the existing hole on the plastic parts with a 7/32 (5.55mm) drill bit, they fit perfectly over the shafts.
Here are a few photos attached.:

If you must use Tamiya rubber then the key will be tire sauce prep I assume. You need to use something that prevents slime build up and carpet fibers from sticking to the tires. This seems to be the problem the Tamiya rubbers. Jack the gripper might help...?

You do have the good stuff then
This is what I do for more steering;
Zip tie the servo saver- tightens up the spring for more initial steering
Add more front camber
Zero front toe in
Add a little bit of rear pod droop
Soft front springs
As a last resort I move my shorty pack forward.
You can also go heavier on the side springs and top spring but I think it makes the car too aggressive and inconsistent for asphalt.

Well it is on asphalt and the rear grip on my F1R is good with my setup...our other F1R is struggling a bit with rear grip and had to go to softs...anyway I don't want to mess with the rear so I'll give camber and springs up front a try.
