But I think the clear o-ring is the way to go. I can't really feel any difference on track between the two o-rings.
Just trying to get every advantage available

Like they say, setup is not overrated

And if I can stumble onto the monkey car setup (a monkey could drive it fast) like I did with my F1 cars, then maybe I can be competitive against drivers that are better than me in this class too.
