Try a mid motor car instead

but seriously

I've read that softening the rear shocks my help.
and adjusting the the speedo so that its putting the power to the motor more slowly

May also be worth trying the new schumacher silver compound mini spikes as they are supposed to be good for this kind of surface

Any chance of posting your current setup?

Silvers are a no-no indoors, yellow minipins are the tyre on 99.9% of our indoor tracks.

Ive turned punch "down" 100% on speedo, and even turned epa down on radio but instead of slowing/calming the acceleration down its just slowing the car down..........2 different motors and 2 different speedo's still acting the same

1 of the lads at the club said its down to me using LiPo's and not having enough weight to put the power down so its just wheel spinning all the time

so basically need/want to add weight in the right places to help me get some grip and put the power down............

any help/advice/links much appreciated

cheers

Ps will try sorting my setup and post it here when i work it out (being a noob )

These here

might work. You mentioned that you could'nt place them under your saddles. but what about sticking them along your battery brace?
This should give you more weight down the middle of the car much in the same way as the under lipo weights do.
