Asked Brent and he said they have a couple tracks in Cali with the same or more grip like Trcr.
Awesome grip & stays consistent though out the day.
Kudos to JConcepts for hosting a great event for us here in the N/w..
Tires
The dirt webs wear a little longer , front tire is smoother and has same steering.
Rear offers more around grip with out slowing rotation down.
The bar codes were great also after the grip came up later in the day.
Don't forget Aka and their new tires, they were doing great also.

His buggy and wheeler were dialed! He was literally hooked up after a minimal amount of time at our track using Dirt Webs.

I ended up picking up the dewalt Gyroscptic cordless screwdriver. On the lowest setting it usually won't even screw the bolt in all the way on my Rc cars. So u don't have to worry about stripping out the plastic or aluminum threads. At the same time it has more power overall tho. Best of both worlds.
The gyro feature is odd and takes a bit to get used to. U don't have a forward or reverse. Or even a speed setting. U pull the trigger and turn the gun the way u want to go. The farther u turn the faster it goes. Simply turn it the opposite direction to reverse and again the farther u turn the faster it goes. It's just like using a hand tool the way u normally would. It does still have 15 slipper settings.
The other model I would concider is the Hitachi cordless screwdriver. It's just as adjustable with standard controls.
Both are more than the ryobi. But worth it to me. I have 5 cars. Saves a lot of time. I keep it on a low setting and tighten the last bit by hand to prevent stripping anything.

I drove my B5m today with the B5 rear arms, shimmed forward. Rear is totally planted. Had a great day at the track

I have the ryobi cordless screwdriver. The only downfall is it does not have a setting as low on the slipper setting that goes low enough for me.

Wow cool that's a pic of my car! Seems to be working pretty good. Here's A pic of the outside! 
3M or Scotch Outdoor Mounting Tape. It's a red & gray roll. Stuff is fantastic. Super strong, rolls off completely clean by finger. Only like $8 for a huge roll that'll last you years.
I'm going to be changing my electronics configuration today as well, but I need to do be able to swap out between 2 lipos while at the track. So I'll be doing the following like the attached pic.

rigor.. I run the alloy rear mount with the -2 deg. side and no spacers.. for outdoors it really smooth's out the rear and plenty of traction when you have the rear arms all way forward with spacer.. even on dry dusty tracks.
