I feel Ride Red is almost identical to HPI Pink but my car is always faster with Ride Red.

that wouldn't surprise me the opposite..if the track grip is very high..you may wanted to switch to blue spring to avoid traction roll...

I have never come close to a traction roll with a BD7, tbh, never even seen it happen at our track, lots of other cars rolling all the time though, to be sure we have a high grip track

Haven't tried Yok Blue on asphalt yet...hmmm

Hrm. I'll have to compare them again. I thought Red was a bit stiffer than Silver, but softer than Pink. And Purple is stiffer than Pink. With the gap between Purple/Red being similar to the gap between Pink/Silver.

Hmmm. I never really had grip roll issues. This is on low to med bite asphalt. I tried it also on carpet where Dave(RedbullFixx) and RacingEvo run, it didn't traction rolled either. It only happened once when I sauced the full tires. Yes, this is with Yok Blues and HPI springs. Perhaps, different degree of high bite carpet?

This is good. We can all compare our findings
