And if your track is carpet - do touring cars there run foam tires as opposed to rubber? When it comes to touring cars, rubber tires are most common for carpet racing, while foam tires are generally used on asphalt, and even then, foam is usually used with nitro touring - not electric. At the carpet tracks I go to, the only cars that run foam tires are pan cars (2WD). Everything else runs rubber tires.

xray springs are not color coded, but instead have the actual rate etched into the top of the spring. You may need to remove the spring from the shock to be able to see the number listed.

If the chassis is rubbing, you likely have your ride height set too low.

It may be annoying and time consuming, but I would highly recommend you tear down the entire chassis, make sure the chassis itself isn't bent (which is possible), and rebuild the car from the ground up using the factory set up sheet as a guide.

from there, reset your ESC and Radio to stock specs (NO drake brake), and set up your radio for the car. From there, you can adjust your steering rate and brake from the transmitter, which will further help you dial the car in to your liking.

Post some pictures if you can, just so we have a better idea of the cars current condition / setup.

Its also worth mentioning that touring car racing is DRASTICALLY different from off-road racing, and some wheel time might be in order to help you get used to the new type of racing.
