Track Setup Advice
If moving to silver rears rather than stepping down oil weight, will this still create a similar effect at improving traction? I imagine based on how much softer the suspension feels that it would indeed, albeit to a lesser degree.

Drake setup except for below changes
7.9lbs race weight w/4s lipo
-1 camber f/r & 4deg total toe-out front
40f/35r silver/black, on small tight track, slightly damp but blue grooved clay
27f/28r ride height

The rear of the car liked to get loose around corners even at slow speeds using ultra-soft Sweep Exagons.

Take this for what you will with setting up for your own track conditions everyone.
