Traction Roll
Hi guys, I swapped my ages-old black can with the 3000kv hobbywing combo. The added speed (my black can was really tired) started to cause some traction roll. I'm using Team Powers 36s on the front and 32s on the rear. I used to use blue/yellow springs back/front based on the basic setup on rc-mini.net. It worked for me very well until now.
I tried to swap the springs for white/blue which slightly improved the situation.
Can you please suggest other changes that I should try to get rid off the traction roll?
Thanks Marek

Also the sway bars / roll bars will help distribute the weight better.
60wt oil in front, 40wt oil in rear will help also.

On some cars/setups they cause severe traction roll.
Initially, keep them on but maybe try the CA glue trick on the sidewall.
It's not your suspension settings because they worked for you before - until you changed tyres.
If it still traction rolls, switch to 36's all round (thats what I use) and/or lob a little bit of weight inside the bumpers..

I've tried the Spice 32's and couldn't get them to work at all with my current set up. I didn't have much fun with them at all! "Evil" is their new label around these parts!

Orion 3200, Yeah/Core/Harris 3200, Harris 3700... Well they're the main ones.
