OK wet or dry, but pushes when track is tacky. Hmmmm.... That means it's pushy. It's ok when wet, 'cause your right foot makes it ok. Same for dry slick. You have a push. The hard part is making a car work on dry slick or sloppy mud. Anything can work on tacky. Why is it pushy? Check these things first...
Tire Pressure?(go by tire temp-hot in the middle of tire=overinflated)
Too much cross Wt?(go by tire temp-LF 10 to 20 degrees cooler than LR is good)Less Cross=More LF temp.
RF Camber Wrong?(go by tire temp-Hotter inside=lean it out,Hotter outside=lean it in)
Wrong spring?(go by shock travel - rig up something to get shock travel measurements)too much travel=not 'nuff spring. Not 'nuff travel=too much spring.
And make sure you have GOOD TIRES. On a tacky or wet mud track I like Continential Conti-tracks (General Grabbers). No less than 5/32 tread depth. Keep all 4 tires within 1/32".Hope this helps.
