ive tried a lot of different things that have been suggested in this thread and i can say after having some terrible traction roll problems on our asphalt court track, gluing the side walls on my front tyre's has solved a great deal of those problems. Now if I could only stop the rear end lifting when braking extremely hard off our main straight into the hairpin. Wish i could video it as some of the stacks are a laugh.

With racing starting again next weekend( it sucks here in SA with both clubs closed for 5 weeks ) i think it might be time to break out the lead and put some more in the back somewhere. I'm sitting at around 1440 grams atm so i figure another 40 or 50 in the back end somewhere would help. And maybe give the front suspension a tweak too. I had Blue springs in the front with 35wt oil but like what Calvin was saying a page or so back, I might try heavier weight oil like 50wt and white super stiff springs in the front.

Thoughts?
