Might be down to tyres as well especially if they were new.
I presume yours was the green car.

Yup green.
Front tyres were worn to 0.5-1mm minipins that i used at worksop, rear were worn also, to about he same rate. These fronts do push on the bmax2, they felt perfect to me on this.
I'll check the video, but I suspect its my lines not the car. I recall earlier in rounds that I could take inside line precisely and pass other cars there. I passed John Price's vintage losi there a few times ;-)
It's safe, but steering when you want it. Tyres of course play a major part. The car setup (out the box) doesn't make it understeer.
Danny's did push, on brand new minipin rubber, but he had his setup different to me anyway. He tried some other tyres but struggle to get the balance right with not owning any fronts, then using 4wd rims on front.
The floor surface is polished rubber floor, with then a bit of surface dust. we brush up before he track is put down, but its still quite slippy, certainly on the wrong tyres. it does feel more grippy after a few rounds, but that goes off as the timed heating goes off in the hall at the end of the night and the temp drops.
