And the Ferrari licensing....

rear grip, rear grip,oh for some rear grip.
got to go for my first run on the weekend, and while it was a lot of fun, the rear was never planted. it just turns itself inside out
i run the stock rear tires with the std t bar - i did try removing the spring, but found that with it on it seemed better but i could not get above half throttle. running formula tuned motor 25 pinion 93 spur.
would running b tires in the rear along with the softer t bar help.
would appreciate any all suggestions.

Did you use tire sauce?
Use Black springs in the front.
Make sure the T-Bar rear screw (pivot) 3/4 - 1 turn out.
If it still no rear grip, sauce the rear tires only.

something tells me that this will be a HIGHly anticipated release...LOL
methinks that they should have released this one first... or at least a generic car with 2009 bodywork and wings

according to tower... the A' are the ones that come standard in the kit...

Looks like you've used white vinyl on the wings, a little crinkly?

Stripes are those pinstripe deals. They do well in photos, not so good on track.
