Hi all,
Thanks for all the info!
Oil shocks could make a difference and what is the other guy running for diff fluid or grease?
Nothing as far as im aware, me neither.
No matter what kind of racing you're talking about as has been said so often it's tires, tires & tires. I would listen to Raman he's a very experienced Tamiya driver and his suggestion may be an easy improvement.
I agree, 80% is tyres. i just hadn't realised they'd be using different tyre compounds/rubber in the TT line up

If your track allows it, pick up some yeah racing shocks. if it has to be Tamiya pick up the plastic CVA or if you can spend a little more the TRF shocks. Either way, you need oil filled shocks
I actually like the way it looks bouncing around, look more realistic to me
They do allow it, ive ordered some Tamiya CVAs.

i have been running this car for years now and normally finish top 3. I just thought everyone had the same traction issue, as they always complain of lack of grip.I
I've just learnt to drive it like a proper 911, just annoying when i get it wrong and spin out.

Next would be slicks that come with the Porsche kit. I bet you they are using left over stock from TA01 days in the 90s. The rubber on them is junk.
The released the Super Grip radials on 30mm, pair those with the front 26 mm and it will change the car dramatically.

These are the ones i have -
Tamiya 50547 (SP547) Wide Racing Slick Tires w/inner Sponge (1 Pair).
I've ordered some Tamiya CVAs, do you mean reduce the rear droop to stop front weight transfer?
I'll try a set of the Super grips if this doesn't work. Edit - Seems the Super Grips are out of stock everywhere!
For those interested in how much wear you can get out of these, i ran the kit tyres for 3 years - Outdoor asphalt (32s lap), we have a large, low grip surface
By this stage it was basically on the carcass, and noticeably affected the top speed/rollout
