Hey Antoni
I see you were asking about the new Speedminds.
They are on a 38mm rim now , the rear has the same offset as the CRC rims you are using. The rear tyre comes trued to approx 50mm. I haven't seen the new front yet. The 30/32 combo worked really well at the Much More Masters.

12th touring, or 12th pan? The CRC cars are pan cars. The newest version balances best with brushless motors.

Hello All, I am running a 12R5.1 at kit setup with boosted 10.5 on Jaco 2xPink front and Grey rear. I'm running on low traction outdoor asphalt, I like the current amount of and feel of steering but would like more rear grip. What setup changes should I be trying and what tyres? I've been using CRC or Jaco as they are most availible to me.
P.S. Again the question of is there a chart of colours from soft to hard? Is the Jaco website in order from soft to hard?

In order soft to hard Jaco:
White
Yellow
Orange
Gray
Pink
Magenta
Double Pink
Lilac
Purple
Black
Pink and Gray are similar in hardness, but are different types of rubber and provide different levels of grip on different surfaces. Purple fronts and Pink rears are where most people start on asphalt, but if you want more rear grip with Double Pink fronts try Orange rears. Set up wise, you can try green side springs and/or blue top spring and/or .22 front springs. More front caster, less camber and/or a bit of front toe might help also.

What traction compounds do people use and for how long? For low traction outdoor asphalt.

If you have some dust or dirt use Jack the Gripper. Apply lightly and leave it on as long as possible. If you need more grip 15 minutes after the Jack, coat with white, runny sun block like Coppertone 30. If your track is clean, try Paragon Ground Effects about 20 minutes and adjust shorter or longer as needed. Use the least amount of coating and least time that will get you the results you want. Be sure you wipe them off well before you run.
