Just a note for anyone trying out my Reedy Race setup. It's a pretty aggressive setup that doesn't have a whole lot of traction, which is just how I like to drive my cars. I tried a couple changes this past weekend that seemed to get me more overall traction, but still had a lot of steering. The track we were running on was about the same length as the Tamiya track, but considerably tighter and had less traction. I switched out the Mazdaspeed 6 for a Mazda 6 lightweight body, I think this is where a lot of the traction came from. I also switched my tire sauce which seemed to make the car come in right away. I used the Muchmore Red Sap sauce, let it sit on the tires for about 45 minutes total, warmed it for about 8 minutes at 55c and took the warmers off about 2 minutes before hitting the track.

Hope this well help you guys out. Questions are welcomed, I dont keep too many secrets
