If you have the problem at low speed, I would check your car to make sure the arms drop freely and the shocks are not binding up and sticking. Everything should move freely. Also do not know how your roll centers are, so a setup sheet of your setup would help more. Make sure the arms move freely with no force applied. Also on the setup you have posted so far the only thing I would says is a little thicker rear diff oil, but I bet you have something not right. Also that body has lots of steering.

Hey Guys,
Having some serious issues finding rear grip with my BD7 '13. We're running control tyres, Muchmore Rush 36s, so going to a softer rear isn't possible. High speed cornering is okay (not brilliant) but accelerating out of corners is resulting in some severe back end slides, even using very little power. Off power slides are also common.
Cheers

Oils, shims, CG, RC, WB, everything
50% reb is too firm
20% is what you are looking for
The BD7 is very sensitive to changes
It's possible you have something tuned too aggressive in your setup
And that body isn't doing you any favours, get a LW Speed 6, or LTCR if you need more rotation
I always go back to kit setup if something doesn't feel right, it's lazy, but works great on asphault

Hey guys,
I've got hold of a BD7RS to use as a wet car and have to say all is good so far apart from the shocks, to be exact the collar adjusters. As they are plastic on plastic they are binding badly to the point where I can't move them without pliers.
So far I've tried putting some shock oil and grease on the threads though it hasn't really helped. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this/ got any suggestions on how to help out.
Cheers
Dan
