Normally I need a little lube on the kingpins to slow that down. With the lipo no lube needed.
My first test drive with the R5 and lipo had purple frt/dbl pink rear. The car needs more mechanical grip. The last 4 mins it pushs a touch and is lose a touch. Just need to soften it up and let it transfer what little weght is left.

Given the way people use tires these days those compounds are hard. That would explain your low grip. I ran pink/magenta fronts and pink rears at all the races last winter. I like yellow rears also but had many problems with them chunking or tearing during the runs.
