The best grip is always early rounds of quals and by mains is the loosest conditions.

So are there any good setups available for Med to Low grip outdoor tracks? The 4 on the Associated site don't match, although the Thielke may be where I start but need to dial in traction. Any ideas?

I have been running similar to Thielke setup on outdoor, dusty, loose and bumpy australian track. I went with 2 rear limiters instead of 1 but used the 3 in the front. Works really well even on low grip, been running holeshots but they don't last long, went with suburbs which worked better, still plenty of grip but small window for error, if you get offline it's obviously slippery.

I'd start with that setup like I have done, if need more grip maybe keep the brass C block on hand. Use that a lot in buggy in Australian conditions
