What's your rear toe in? Front and rear camber? Are you able to adjust the rear roll center with the RRR hubs?

More front droop (Off power steering)
Smaller tyres up front (off power steering)
Softer compound up front (On power steering)
less front roll bar (On power steering)
Less rear toe (Both)
28mm rears (Both)
Remove the rear roll bar (I dont know why this works on the FW but it does!) The car has to roll at the back to get the front to work properly i think
Cheers

FW ISSUES
i run using the efra rules on foams.
i know thew fw was designed for rubbers and slapped together for foams without much thought ( typical kyosho and im starting to get peed!).
More front droop (Off power steering) DONE THAT
Smaller tyres up front (off power steering) DONE THAT.
Softer compound up front (On power steering) ANY SOFTER TAN 35 AND FORGET RUNNING A 20 MIN FINAL
less front roll bar (On power steering) TOOK IT OFF..A REAL PIG,,VERY, VERY TWITCHY
Less rear toe (Both)NEED THE GRIP..2.5DEG MIN
28mm rears (Both), WILL UPSET THE SPLIT
Remove the rear roll bar DOESNT SUIT MY STYLE..TO MUCH IN THE FAST, QUICK DIRECTION CHANGES ON OUR TRACK. YOU ARE IN SECOND
GEAR AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH 2 CHCANES,,VERY HAIRY..
Pushing on or off power? OFF AND HIGH SPEED ON
What's your rear toe in? 2.5 MIN
Front and rear camber? 1.5 FRONT, 4 REAR
Are you able to adjust the rear roll center with the RRR hubs NOPE..USED THE LOWER BLOCKS AND DIDNT IMPROVE, PREFER THE HIGHER REAR BLOCKS,,

Hmmm.... 2 deg toe in is MAX for me.
30K diff oil in the back? with front one way?
I think you have tried everything. Try the RRR that supposed to be better ....LOL... (i might join you!)

MikeCatts, I think you are running a too softer compound, try going 37 front 40 rear.
I ran at a cool 11C with 40 front and rear with only 1.5 degree rear toe in and the gold bar, the rear was planted but the front pushed a bit under hard power, it was with a diff up front and even size tyres.
I'm also running the very soft V-one S springs, Green front, Yellow rear.

mikecatts, no chassis is suitable to any and all driving style. I do know that the FW-05R consistantly TQ at the Silverstone Raceway and have done very well in other places. The RRR looks to be another top performer. I have both the FW-05R and the RRR and I like them both and I do better with either the FW or RRR depends on the track. The FW does seem to do better with high traction surfaces.

Maybe the answer is your driving style, you might be too aggresive for the 05, so a belt car may suit you better.
Hope you find the right car soon as buying kit after kit can make you lose interest in the hobby.
