I just ran my R40 for the first time, also my first time at a track in 2 years. Car handled great, except there was way too much traction and it kept traction rolling, made some changes and got better, but as the day got cooler it got worst again. Some pointers would be welcome.

I was running Associateds springs all around, white fronts and yellow rears, harderst Asso springs. Front sway bar at full hard. I ended up running 45 fronts and 42 rears, and still traction rolling like crazy. The only thing I didnt try was truing down the tires, I was running them straight out of the box.

I also had a few questions about some extra parts that came in the box. There were 2 sets of rear bottom hinge pins mount, I mounted the ones with the 0 on it, how will the ones with the 2 change the way the car handles? I imagine that they change the roll center but Im not sure. Also, is it possible to change the front roll center on the R40?

Thanks
