Is your car setup as per instructions? I have changed my setup after initial practice today. I have found that you can run softer tyres and also don't need to run the car super low.

More info might be helpful, like what tyres you are running, inserts, motor, how your shocks are setup, etc.

I use TRF M chassis shocks with 3 hole pistons with 50 wt oil front and 40 wt oil rear, built as per instructions. I tested Spice, Pit Shimizu, Powers and Ride tyres in different combinations/different inserts and I don't have this problem.

I have not tested using any Tamiya tyres. I only run 55mm tyres.

Regards,

Calvin.
