Looking at that it’s still difficult to tell since there isn’t any reference point if the core in the picture. It’s just a zoomed in picture of the track.
Not gonna lie I stood starting at the manual(s) for a hot minute. Spaghetti brain. I got lucky after looking at @bryan.wheeler YARBO wording on the tracks tip. That helped immensely.
You either want more traction to get into trouble until you get stuck,
or you want more traction AFTER you’re in that trouble and need to back up.
There’s no wrong answer, but if you pick the “best traction forward”, it’ll always be on you to rescue the core. OR, you can have it get stuck more often, but be able to extricate itself without you caring.
Either / or, both are good. Just know which is what.
