Got it all figured out..

Took the f1r out for it's maiden voyage. Gearing is stock for the f104 pro, haven't touched that. Side dampening shock is 30wt oil, as is the main trf shock, with a factory white spring. I replaced the side springs with AE golds as the stock blacks are too soft. front is 2.0 deg. camber block (though I might switch to 1.5 for more even tire wear) servo is in the standard upright position (should I lay it down?) tires are the tamiya 54198/199 combo (spec tire for the first event we have) and dual rate on the radio turned down to 42 percent. I turned it up to 63 percent, and it's better, but on a long or quicker sweeper, the car just pushes like a dump truck. it turns just fine in a slow, tight corner. track is high grip ozite carpet. I dont want to turn the dual rate back up as I fear it will traction roll eventually. Ideas?
