You might be surprised. 5S/6S batteries are fairly heavy. However, yes I suppose that the traction would probably increase when running on asphalt. Much different than on grass, loose dirt, etc.

Yeah, I was only running 4s. 2 hard case 2s Turnigy lipos. With 5s/6s, I'd think it would be even more likely.

I was using the Terrapin tires, not sure if their large diameter had any effect on it.
