I race on a sealed parking lot if that helps.
Should I use a traction compound on the tires? If so, what type?
What springs are you using? Sounds like they might be to tall. 4 internal o-rings seems like a lot to me. I use 3 in the front and 2 in the rear for a little more droop adjustment. With shorter springs like the Tamiya short-tuned springs (not the ones in the set, but the ones you buy in pairs) you'll find that the car will settle down on the height of the springs. You can also use the 1mm down type spring retainers too. The sway bars...I would say they're nice to run in the front (silver if you do) but not "necessary". Not sure what you mean by loose but that could also be a spring and shock problem as well. Tranction compound will depend largely on tires. I haven't run much outside with mine so not really sure there. I did use it when I was running the 'kit' tires but didn't need it at all running S-grips up-front and M-grips in the rear. I haven't used the Type-A's yet...until they get here along with my M03R.
