Oh well, as they say. Practice,Practice,Practice.
What car are you running? IMO laying shocks in will have less effect than playing with camber links. I'd start there instead

I think it would be great if USGT/RCGT or whatever held to HPI Xpatterns on cool rims. The reality is most places are running some type of spoked premount.


The Solaris Mediums are carpet worked really well and probably a bit faster than the XPattern in any compound.

There will be some good USGT racing this weekend at the final round of the Hurricane All Star Series at "The Track".
