Rio-Nice paint!. I am going to let some of the Carpet guys fill you in more. The kit setup is a pretty good starting place. If the grip is very high widen the front.


Petite Le Mans (World GT, 10.5, 2S LIPO), outdoor asphalt
I continue to improve my lap times on the new surface. The last change was going to white fronts instead of purple fronts. I had more steering on the sweeper this way. I am using less and less brakes. Brakes are turned way down on the radio. I am holding more throttle in a wider radius turn than before and trying to hold momentum. This reduces the need to accelerate from low speeds out of the corner and improves corner exit times.
These tactics did not work on the previous surface. I did not have enough traction with foams on the latex sealer most of the times. Rubber tire traction on the TC was outstanding previously (rubber on rubber so to speak).
