I think this is whats killing me in the corners that are tighter cause even if I am going really slow in the turns it seems I do not have egnough steering. I am talking just practicing running the course less than half throttle it seem It cannot make sharp turns. Now if i go really fast in a sharp turn I can slide the back end and clear the turn but doing that everytime is a bit difficult for my drive style

Update: i added a servo, motor and Rx to the chassis still need a Li-po pack and ESC. Without the battery&ESC I measure 5mm ride height in the rear and that is as LOW as it gets. Im stuck.

get all the bits you still need and check that you've used the correct shock ends from the kit if remember correctly they come with more the 1 kind. Hope this helps
nearly forgot there's also 20g of wieght to bring it up to 1500g

The longer ends included are for the FK05.

"back the droop screws out to get tons of droop (don't want droop screws messing with the ride height setting).
set ride height. push car down to surface, let go, measure under back end of chassis and under side of chassis just behind front arms. Use shock collars to set ride height. left and right shock collars should be very close. If one side of chassis is lower than other, you can make small side-to-side collar adjustment to level it.
set rear droop. lift rear of car by shock tower until one wheel just lifts from the surface. Measure the chassis' height at rear end. Difference between this height and ride height is droop. Turn in droop screws to lessen droop. Keep adjusting screws until both tires pick up exactly at the right chassis height (in this case, 5.5mm).
set front droop. same procedure. lift on front shock tower, watch or feel for one tire lifting off surface, then measure chassis height (just behind front arms). Again, adjust screws so both tires lift at 5.5mm."
This is a way I adjust the cars tweak by lifting the front and rear and seeing if both tires lift up at the same time, though I adjust with the spring collar, should it be done this way or with downstop screws?

Christian, that technique does not check for tweak. Tweak means the car has uneven weight distribution when at ride height. You need a system that checks the weight on each wheel at ride height to check for tweak (such as four scales, or balance beams).
