Ran the car last weekend with the 7K front 10K rear and it was pretty good.
The track was carpet, and it had a long 90 degree sweeper onto the straight. I did find that the car tended to push quite badly as I was powering onto this straight and I had to feather the throttle to stop it drifting to the outer barrier.
I'm pretty sure lighter front diff oil would sort this. (Or better front tyres!)
For anybody following this thread, Caster have now introducing a newer version of the car. Not sure what it's going to be called yet, but possibly Caster SK10 V3 or something... Anyway, it now has Big Bore (13mm) shocks, new slipper clutch, stronger driveshafts all with CVD couplings. Front bulkhead brace and a variety of other wee mods.
It should also come with a new bodyshell based on my new cab forward design! I have just sent more detailed drawing this evening! I'd be mighty chuffed if they actually put it into production....
