If I understand your post correctly, you are running Jconcepts treaded tires in green compound.
If the track is good enough a lot of guys are running slicks, you're going to be in agony compared to them if you're running treaded tires. But that's the easy part, the compound is going to be ultra critical, as is the condition/selection of the insert. Depending on where you run, the inserts will wear out/break down before the tire gives up. The guys I know who run at WCRC and OCRC tell me that the tires are only good for three race days once they go to slicks because the inserts start to break down and then they are junk.
So, IMO, this isn't necessarily a chassis problem. It might be, but you gotta get the tires right first.

I ran 15 minutes straight at Autodromo Rancho Pollo with the 550 motor in it last Saturday after the race. The battery took 2500 mha when I recharged it. Run whatever you like!
