So what I am finding is the setup we run is really good on a warmer track but when it gets cooler, the A800 struggles compared to say a T4. The reason I believe is the T4 rolls more thus works the tyres and generates more grip. How would I look to get the A800 to work the tyres a bit more without compromising it's setup when the temps increase? Would the long arms help? Running the std deck and not VTD? (This is on a large outdoor asphalt track) Also curious what changes setup wise I need to look at going to the MMCX set up, I was finding when I ran my usual set up the MMCX tended to snap oversteer mid corner.

On the upper side of planet we usually struggle with our cars when conditions become hotter.

Interesting, could someone elaborate more on why Awesomatix gets worse in hot or cold weather? What is relation of temp to the car (materials, track grip)?

track temp has very little to do with the car . Touring car to me is 80% tire selection and prep. Most cars are fast when it’s cool on a sticky track and fade faster as the day heats up and lose speed during the day . It has always been harder to go faster in the heat of the day for me before awesomatix. Lately it seems like my car has been running the best laps the last two minutes of the run which is amazing where I was struggling to hold on the last 60 seconds before . The new mid motor with long arms seems to fit my driving style perfect . This is just my opinion and observation

hard for me to answer because I changed to mid motor at the same time but i noticed a huge gain in grip without losing the corner speed and rotation. I also noticed this car wears tires even and a lot less . My tires after 4 runs still have the sheen on them and almost no signs of wear .

This can be easily noticed at tracks which do not have sun on the asphalt in the morning but some sun on it at later time.
Asphalt / Surface temperature is often the biggest change of the handling characteristic of your car.
It's also easy to predict when the track will be the fastest. We call this "Rocket Round" ;-)
At Indoor tracks its always at the end of the day. When many people raced on the Carpet and temperature was good/high inside the building, and you turn off the heating or open windows to cool down the track/air its very very possible the last batteries of the day will be the fastest.
On Asphalt is similar, but depends on the A:Sun B: position of the Track.
If there is sun in the morning to heat up the asphalt and later at the day the sun is away, the track gets faster to the end....
So the issue is not in the Car's. Its more the change of Track Temp. in combination with the tire/rubber.
