I am a total newbie with f1 cars so forgive me on a possibly dumb question. I am running on crc black carpet and the rear end of my car is massively loose after switching to the super softs. If I hold constant throttle in a sweeper the rear end initially bites then totally loses all grip and the car swaps ends. Is there a special protocol for breaking the tires in, maybe something I am missing for saucing, or is something massively wrong with my setup?

Sorry, I should have replied last night. I had some local help at the track who showed me the wonders of grinding the middle seam off the tires and the heat cycling / saucing techniques for new tires. I am running glue all the way of the front sidewall and no sidewall glue in the rear (outside of the rim/tire bead). Once I ground the mold release and the seam, I was able to lay down some proper lap times with the car.

Motor/Speed Control Recommendtion
Hi, all. Looking to get back into racing as rookie again.
Can someone recommend a good brushless motor/speed control combination to start with?
I will be using a CRC WTF & F104.
Just getting back into and just want to get my feet wet.

Good: Hobbywing XR10 Justock
Better: Hobbywing XR10 G3
Best: Hobbywing XR10 Pro Stock Spec
Motor: Lots of good options from R1, Trinity, Motiv, and Hobbywing
I am personally running a XR10 Pro stock spec ESC in all my F1 cars and my main F1 car uses a Hobbywing G3R 25.5 motor
I have an R1 and Motiv 25.5 for sale also.

Tamiya F1 chassis rebuild
I have had this on deck to clean up and rebuild for awhile. I have a pretty good start but don’t remember what version this chassis is. Does anyone know?
Also, what esc is that? I can’t seem to find anywhere.
Thanks! 😃

Anyone have an idea the model of the ESC? It’s a Shuur Speed ESC but not sure what model it is.

Mines didn't snap but I had a fracture from a minor crash. The fracture was enough to cause a slight movement/off true axle.

Schumacher Icon 1.0
Still work in progress. This is a pretty trick looking chassis (Schumacher Icon). I got the widest body available but the rear side dampers hit the body so had to trim more than I would like to. The stock Servo saver runs the inside of body so not sure what I’m gonna do there but all we need to do is detail the cockpit, paint and finish a drivers helmet and will be ready to motor.
