Astro tracks are bumpy, the AE greys were good, but the grip was higher. The indoors tracks are mostly flat and bump free. Stiffer spring works. I guess oil weight and pistons also have an effect here, a heavier oil also helps resist the roll and helps stop the collapse I was having, but not what you need on bumpy tracks. You would see it collapse, the un-weighted wheel would spin up and the car spin out. Again with the xray I took advice that said to go lighter on the diff oils for low traction, but i found that when a wheel goes unloaded in a corner, with the lighter oil the power is instantly transferred to the light wheel causing it to spin up, and the car over rotates. And so it goes on...

A bit off topic now for the original question, but like I said I struggled for a year to get it to work for me. An expensive process with the xray really, I tried it all and had al the option parts. The last parts were the +2 rear wishbone hangers and new wishbones, which didn't help with low traction at all. So I sold it. its a great high grip car, and was awesome on the RHR clay track too. Just junk (for me) on low traction indoors tracks like Batley and York.
