Hey Schumacher drivers, I'm weighing my options for a new car to race in the 17.5 blinky class at my local track. I love the design of the Mi5 and have spent a few hours combing through the forum as well as looking at online reviews. Only possible concern is that my local track is a medium to high bite, indoor carpet course and that the Mi5 might be a handful in this kind of situation. What does it take to make it work in these kinds of conditions? The stiffer top deck? Very conservative application of traction compound? A neutral handling body like a Bittydesign MC10? I wasn't at IIC in 2013, but I heard through the grapevine that a lot of the MI5s experienced traction/grip roll. Any truth to that?
