I'm sure I'll have traction issues too until I get some drag radials for the back.
Well the only time I've been able to run it yet the track had no prep and they didn't have the water box going. So I just spun the tires a bit to get off any dirt. The second time around I didn't spin them at all and it seemed like I got more traction. I definitely need to get it tuned because its running really rich. I can't wait to see how your truck runs in comparison to mine! I'm sure I'll get there with it eventually.
