Traction can get pretty high bite on the rug and the last thing you would want is a losi pushing out more. I really love my MI2 and can't wait to run it head to head with the better TC3 driver's in my area since I feel that the TC3 has been the better carpet car for a while. Do you sauce your tire's? We use TQ orange and I sauce full front and rear.
I would like to stagger the inserts, but unfortunately the track has a spec cs27 tire rule. I use MPH Products T-Rx for traction compound, works better than TQ, comes in faster, and lasts longer too. I just installed the alloy inner mounts and the new rear hubs last night. I also reinstalled the front riser plate too. I plan on going to 80wt front oil (50 in there now) and 60 in back (40 in there now) to help reduce chassis roll. I will be doing a lot of testing tomorrow and tuesday too.
