Sounds like your having similar problems to me with the rear end grip. Have you got the slipper and diff set up nicely. My diffs now fine (i hope) but still struggling to get the slipper working where I want it on the tc02c. My old xPro is perfect however.
Have you done anything different with forward weight? Can't think of much else.

Yeah I have found the slipper clutch between the cars is slightly different, I believe it is where the slipper plates sit on the layshaft is slightly further away from the gearbox on the mid car than it is on the rear car. Probably because of the extra spacer needed on the mid car to stop the slipper plates hitting the motor mount. I reckon its not very much, fraction of a MM but it does mean that the slipper on the mid car tightens quicker than that on the rear car.
Of course I could be talking absolute crap
Mr Emily I reckon because your car is new, needs to bed it self in again to feel like your old one. I reckon the slop that had formed in your old car might of helped generate grip.
I take it that nothing is binding and the suspension is all moving freely, and the diff is working correctly? Not too tight? not too loose?
Slipper set-up is majorly important on slippy surfaces to me, it was at the oople race on dirt. Having that set right for the slippy section will probably help it through there, and also check the diff is doing its thing It might because it is new it is actually overtight because everything hasn't bed in yet particularily the diff spring or transversley that might not have fully compressed and is causing your diff to slip when it has been tightened up as far it can go. I would have thought if it was slipping though you would have noticed it on the carpet sections though.
