Sorry been bust at work as for glue I have always used losi blue it just seems to be the best for this it stays on top of foam until it hardens
As for tires I ran every combo I could think of pink/d-pink white d- pink white /black white dual fronts white/grey rears and different fronts and I found traction staringe this year my "rubber based" tires would start off pushy loose then get a ton of front bite so I went to "foam" base tires and it was better just needed to find the right steering blacks were good after three laps but very "twitchie" up front dual fronts were really good but I only had two pair so I tryed Grays with safety glue on edge and from first lap till end traction was good
