It REALLY helps if you run an ESC with an amp limiter on these cars. At the C I would suggest Type A's with the flimsiest foam you can find in the rears and HPI red/orange medium inserts in the front. Easy on the throttle until the tires get warm. No choppy-choppy. You CANNOT drive these cars like a sedan!!! No throttle point and squirt, gotta be easy and smooth, smooth, smoooooooth.
