I have an FG ecoline and I am ashamed to say in almost a year I have never had a proper run out of it, when I first got it, it came with some semi slick tyres front and rear I am not sure of the compound but they were rock hard. I was expecting a bit of wheelspin but I couldn't even make it move, it just when a few feet and did a big donut, I am used to nitro cars so I am not trying to throttle too fast. So I got some softer tyres with a tread pattern from ebay, again not sure of the compound but they were softer but still I cannot make this thing drive it just spins all over. What do I need to make it work? tyre addative, certain tyres or do they need really heating up first? I tried wheelspinning to warm the tyres but I never got any traction. Such a shame as gas is nice after messing with glow, I started the car for the first time in nine months and it fired straight off and idled like a metronome.

#1 Clean parking lot helps dirty lots no tires work well
#2 Car set up tow out for the front tow in for the rear, set ride hight camber and caster as you desire but to start 3 degrees of tow in for the rear.
#3 GRP As front / rear are a good starting point or PMT 10s
#4 Easy on the gas as you learn the car its more like a real car with a BIG power plant then you are used to.

You could put some tar on your tires, that should help with traction.
