Apex the car shouldnt be erratic ( inconsistant ). Now if you glue the whole side wall. You will loose traction.
This is a trick for running on high bite carpet, to make the car less prone to traction rolling. But at that point you only coat 1/2 to 3/4 of the sidewall.
You'll be giving up cornering traction.

Now your only supposed to put a small bead of glue at the seam. If you apply it neatly it wont be hack, you only need enough at seams! .
