I guess I got lucky on reassembly. I did the coin test several times and they seem to be falling at the same time. Alrighty then, next question. Whats the story with traction compound. I havent been able to get my car past half throttle without is spinning out even with VERY gradual application of throttle. I went and watched some racing today at my LHS and it seemed that all the guys were running traction compound. I thought that was only for carpet, but apparently not. What would you guys recommend I try for compound. I could only get one 1/12 guy to even talk to me and he even seemed a little annoyed but he said he used thq or something and some others use paragon, and something about sunscreen. I wish guys at the local track were are helpful as here on the forum. I would like to get started in racing, but it's pretty intimidating and everyone runs brushless which sucks for beginners trying to keep on the cheap.
