TryHard, is your local track asphalt or carpet? I race on a CRC ozite carpet track, and am thinking of going with the Ride soft compound tires front and rear to hopefully limit the understeer you spoke of.
I was mistaken about the option kingpins being titanium; they are titanium coated as has been pointed out. Still waiting to hear back from 3Racing in response to my email to them about the fragile front arms and kingpins. We need someone like Exotek or some other aftermarket manufacturer to develop parts for the FGX, such as stronger suspension arms, and perhaps high grade steel kingpins. I would love to see what sort of chassis Exotek could make for the FGX; after all they did an excellent job on their F104 conversion which has recently been made even better with the F1R conversion. I wish they would do something like that for the FGX. I emailed Mike R at Exotek several days ago about that, but have yet to hear back from him.

Did you try a higher rear ride height than front ?

Ok my bad. I guess if its said "coming soon" on 3racing's site none of the dealers will have it yet.
Tried 1/12 scale (associated) center shock springs. Will slide on but a little too small in diameter and won't fit the adjuster nut correctly.
Btw anyone have bad leakage from the shocks?

leaked terrible fron bottom of shock. Removed the metal retaining pin to have a look at the oring, and the oring had small break in it (about 3/4 way through). Found oring from M18T replaced and stopped the leak.

Boy, first it's the fragile front suspension arms and kingpins; then it's the motor mount position limiting pinion gears and ratios; now it's shocks that leak all the time! Did 3Racing do any proper testing of this car to get the bugs out before they put it to market?
Not sure now how badly I want the FGX now; I really wanted to love this car because of the scale realism;(I am a huge proponent of full independent suspensions on F1 cars) but there are too many issues with the FGX it seems.
The latest Exotek F1R conversion for the F104 is looking better all the time!

From the looks of it, we are the testers! You would think if 3Racing had decent testers, they would have found the same problems.
