By the end of the day I got one setup problem with the car, traction roll! So what did you guys do to help battle traction roll with the MRS4? Stiffer front suspension? Seems like my rear ball diff also loosen up a little by the end of the day.

Yeah I was wondering where you went. I saw you, chatted to you and then I got running my 'coil and I turned around again and you were gone! LOL.
I was there till 9pm that night. Had fun running and watching my recoil go in circles on its own.. (lack of battery power). heh.
Back onto your Mrs4,
Now you said only in one turn, is that the one right hand hair-pin turn as you come towards the pit area and then left towards the back wall and around?? If so, my Recoil was dumping in that exact same spot and no other turn as well.
Feathering that corner was about the only way I managed to control it with my setup on my recoil thus far. Take it very easy on the steering and back off throttle slightly. But still have to keep momentum going.
Now as far as I can remember from last year (different track design), I managed to control traction rolling on my micro. There were times when it would still spin out, but I think I mostly controlled it. Keep in mind that being lower to the track and running over duct tape DOES catch the micro at times. I wish they could have put down a sub floor to mount the carpet w/o using tape on the top surface.
As Alfred mentioned, coat the foamies with CA glue (not gobs of it). But that does help out the tire, plus keeps pieces from ripping off easily.
As for trying to catch up to me, if you wanted to buy my Futaba MC230cr and Team Orion big block setup, lemme know and I can figure out a price for you? Flip to my micro rs4 thread in my signature for a photo of it, im sure there is one in there.
EDIT: Found the most recent photos I was talking about.
