Here is the setup sheet I am following:

Seems i am sliding a lot and can't carry speed through the corners. Some is prolly due to me being a noob but I know how to spot/follow a race line. Running a revtech 17.5 (no boost or esc timing) with gearing @ 69/37 so ~ 3.73 fdr. I have a Tekin RS in there now with the choice of an LRP Sxx Stock Spec v2. Usually start with sorex 36s in the am and move to 40s as the asphalt heats up.
I just can't seem to get the times out of the car the fast guys are getting. Not even close as they are regularly running 4 or 5 laps more pre qual/main than I am and some of the "stock" sedans pull away from me on the straight.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi AJ,
Was a fairly bumpy track so I think your HPI blue springs are way too aggressive and also you are a tad undergeared. We were at 3.5 fdr with a fan on the motor. Will probably go 3.4 for the next round as I hear there will actually be a straight away.
Here was my run with a fairly soft set up and seriously used up tires

Bring your car around the next race and I'll see if I can help out.
