Absolutely glue front tires and do it carefully as to not get glue on sidewalls. gluing sidewalls is yet another more extreme traction roll cure but you should creep up on this solution. The edges of the tires lift/peel under load with the high grip so gluing helped a ton.

Nano, I kind of agree with the 50 vs. 40 assessment but I'll tell ya from testing it is kind of chassis/diff based. My ball diff Porsche 962c I run 40/10 and I have to dial down dual rate a good chunk. On my Lambo with gear diff I run stock 50/10 and it is dialed and I even had to take a little dual rate out on that. Sounds like those narrower chassis seem to be prone to traction rolling so I will be testing some narrow chassis combos next.
