The main problem with the 3Racing gears is roundness, or rather, a lack of it. To be blunt, they're crap.

EDIT: Hey, I've still got the last post. May as well add to it. I got a bit of an odd issue while racing this weekend and I'm trying to narrow it down. Did 5 races and a little practice but the problem cropped up only in the last few races. I found that when my car was turning fairly hard to the right (Not sharp enough to be a problem with the CVDs, Bert! ) it developed this little hop. It appeared to be on the verge of traction rolling, the inside front would lift a little, but never did go over. Here are the basics of my setup.

-M03
-Old TRF dampers set to 55mm with 20wt silicone. Short blue springs all around. (there was a change, though. Read on.)
-S-Grips all around, with CA on the front sidewalls and just kissing the tread.
-Running a little lower on the front than the rear.
-Yeah Racing CVDs

This setup is usually rock solid and predictable, without a hint of traction roll. I found it was letting me down just a little on the front traction yesterday, so I swapped in short yellow springs on the front. (I even tested short reds while I was at it.)

I'm suspecting a few factors may have been at play: We ran 69 heats plus practice time yesterday. The track had developed a serious groove by this morning. Maybe the combination of the very sticky track and my very slightly softer front springs was working against me. I think maybe the extra grip was bringing my car to the verge of rolling, but it would get halted when the bead of CA took over and dropped the car back down, at which point traction would pick up...you get the idea. Now I think about it, I'm not surprised this was a right turn only phenomenon. All the fastest corners were rights.

Anyway, if you have any thoughts, feel free to chime in. I'm probably going back to my regular setup next weekend. Just curious if anyone's had this happen before.
