as for the compound type i dont know my friend makes them, i race them, ill call him up wednesday or thursday and ask him.the grip on the tires dependes on how we make them once again i dont know how we make them, but i do know how grippy they are they are anywhere from 2 dergrees-8 degrees(measured on a mini-z scale,sorry i dont have the little degrees sign on my keyboard).As for the car with lots of torque if you are drag racig 1-2 races, on a rally type course, if you gas it in the turns: 1 race
if you coast through the turns 2-3 races.if you have any more questions ask away!
