My ultra light 4S 1/8 Serpent GT-E on it's original tires will beat any 1/7 on a (medium sized) road circuit.
Weight is the biggest enemy. Drifting and powerslides looks cool but they are slow. It's all about perfect racing lines, being in control all the time. Not saying aero isn't important, but that's finetuning... Use a centerdiff and don't go to heavy on diff oil weight.
These 'medium' compound Serpent tires are much softer and grippier than GRP S1's and won't like 100+mph speeds, but they will corner like crazy. https://www.serpent.com/xcart/cart.php?target=product&product_id=10546
Great to know.
Have you by chance ever tried the V1 Hobao VTE original tires? I had seen them in a hobby shop years ago and they seemed very soft/grippy. I expect they wont go above 70mph safely.
