My problem is as traction comes up over the day it still gets harder and harder to keep all 4 on the ground. Usually towards the end of the second heat I start 3 wheeling. In the main I look like a stunt driver going around corners on 2 wheels. Now it doesn't seem to me that I am really driving any faster in the corners. But we all know its not often the case.
So here is the question. I remember being told to try CA on the rears to further quell the beast. But inside or outside first? Is there another point of focus I am forgetting? I will review my bookmarks in my online mini info folder to see if I am missing something as well.

Always the outside, occasionally the inside also. Try this on the fronts. Carry the cyano right onto the tread itself and cover just the edge of the 1st rib. It's better on asphalt to go too far than not far enough. The reason being that the cyano will wear back to where it should be in a few batteries. If you go too far the car will push till it wears off. If you did not go far enough, you'll continue to have traction rolling problems.
These suggestions are for asphalt only and particularly Tamiya S-Grip tires. Carpet is a different story cause the cyano takes forever to wear down. If you go too far there, you'll probably have to manually trim it back on something like a tire truer.
