Tried with no glue on front sidewalls and couldn't stop traction rolling even with 1/4 sauce.

Glued sidewalls and ended with 3/4 sauce. Car was FAST but hiking on-power. Never traction rolled but was on 3 wheels most of the race lol.

Running the spool and never felt like I was on the verse if getting loose even on medium grip black carpet with new CRC tires.

My car was killing it through the chicane and switch-back section.

Went to Roche gold side springs and it helped with the hiking on power.

Was running 9.4-9.6 laps consistently which was faster than the entire USGT field lol.

Has anyone tried the solid axle? Do you just run a second clamp hub on the right side?

I've been running the hollow EA axle but ordered the solid Roche today. I trust the hollow in 1/12 but F1 being open tire and 300g heavier I'll do solid for F1.

Quick question, Any LCG battery brand fitment issues? I'm looking at getting a set of SMCs and want to make sure they fit transverse and in-line.

LCG have the same footprint, just not as thick.

Not true for all brands. Some are 1S sized length and width, which makes them about 2mm shorter. Fantom's are 1S sized, Reedy's are 1S sized, SMC's are Shorty sized. I guess I'll have to wait to measure with a caliper when I get home.
