Wheelspin is part of the game, even on the awesome new carpet. You could try dealing down the aggressiveness/throttle curve on your ESC?

Yellow front springs with 40 oil and yellow back springs with 30 seems to be the ticket.

Jim would know best.
I know nothing.

My LHS has the Futaba S3151 and S3305. Just wondering if I need the extra strength.
PS, I'm stuck with futaba because of the servo saver I'm using.
Torque isn't as important as speed. I'd go with 0.10/s - 0.15/s minimum.

Wednesday practice night report:
- M04RR - does wheelies quite well, otherwise sketchy
- Xevo - still blindingly awesomely grippy
- m05 - fixed the hard pull to the left with spring tweaking. Thanks!
