Thanks for the info. I raced the Cleveland Warmup race at CRC Raceway last Sunday and had better luck running kit tires on the front and S grips on rear. No traction rolling although the car would slide the nose at times resulting in lost time in the corners whoa-ing it up. I'll try the CA glue on S grips at the next club race. I managed a 3rd place out of 8 cars on Sunday, my best outing w/ the M06 so far.
Cheers,
Jim

As epecially the S-Grips in the newer batches have a very soft compound,
sidewalls are too weak to take the side forces on high grip carpet without tucking under. Maybe thatīs also the reason, why Tamiya released a super hard foam insert (Tamiya 54590). I just oticed this week, usually I use the hard 53255 since some years.
You should try the glue, it will cure your problems, Iīm sure.
The M06 is the "M" which is traction rolling at last, after M03, and M05, thatīs my experience with similar conditions and unglued side walls.
If you look 2 or 3 pages back, you can find my LWB carpet setup, where I also mention the glued sidewalls...
