The track dried out completely and was way looser than I had ever seen. I was lost. I kept making changes only to still seem to have no traction. Then before the mains, I tried something just for the heck of it. I sanded down the hubs so that I could glue some lead weights to them. Wow did this make a difference. I only had 1/4 ounce on each front spindle, and 1/2 ounce on each rear hub. This seemed to make all the difference in the world. Has anyone else experimented with this? BTW I just got the car a month or so ago, and have not ever run it outdoors so I am wondering if traction is always an issue with this car?
