I have read through most all of the posts on this thread, and have checked out what setup sheets I can find (only like 2).

I have a question about tires.
Our race / club season has just ended, but thinking about what to try for next season, etc. We run on asphalt, it is usually high grip. I ran Tamiya slicks on all 4 all year (our rules state you must run Tamiya wheels and tires). Has anyone tried going with S-Grips on front and slicks on back? Just thinking the S-Grips may dig in a bit more and get better acceleration out of corners and forward grip? ...I kind of think i've heard this but can anyone confirm. Does this sound reasonable, would it be beneficial? I can always try it out in a qualifying race.
