Joe, if you VTA tires are new, dope them up with paragon and keep them in a sealed bag. repeat daily for three days. The oil of wintergreen softens the rubber well and the tires grip sooner than if you just run them. If they are older be sure they are not glazed up. A good cleaning make the world of difference. +1 on the front out and the rearar laid down. Also I have moved the rear arms forward to get a little more traction.

For cleaning I use lighter fluid on a cloth if the tires feel oily after a couple minutes I'll give a quick wipe with motor spray. I tried simple green but the tires got too sticky

Are you running on carpet?

What color springs are you running?
