any ideas what could be the problem or any of you guys found a solution??

yes you should remove a bit material of the c-hubs (by knife is fine). plastic c-hubs dont break so easy compared to the graphite ones, so in case there is a track where you break a lot graphite c-hubs, you should switch to plastic.

the two 15g weights are fine!

a sunny day on an asphalt track with medium or high traction is perfect but i do like carpet racing a lot, consistent track condition and often very challenging.
