The problem I have, is it seems no matter what set up I use, after the traction compound wears off it becomes nearly impossible to control the car when getting on the power on corner exit. Others are having the same issue.
My car is awesome for the first 4-5 min, then the car still handles good with heaps of grip on sweepers and on corner entry, but it's keeps rotating on exit no matter how softly you try and get on the power. if you don't get on the power at all, it's fine.
It's an on power thing only once the traction compound has worn off.
Before the compound wears off, I get nail it out of corners, no probs!
When getting on the power, it over rotates so quick, you don't even have time to catch it! it almost snaps. hard to describe!
But I have the feeling other 12th drivers will understand! surely im not alone!

I am using double pink fronts with pink rears.

Any ideas???? getting frustrated!
few things to try-
- different rears -- new "blue" and "green"
- different front -- dbl pink is kinda soft. i'd go for a lilac (i ran lilac / green at 2013 asphalt nats in mod 1/12 -- it was really good)
- SOAK your rears for 1h+ with compound
- stiffer front springs
- less front caster.
