Softer - Increased Rear Chassis Roll, Increased Rear Traction, Decreased Front Traction, Decreases On Power Steering (May Cause Understeer)

Stiffer - Decreased Rear Chassis Roll, Decreased Rear Traction, Increased On Power Steering (May Cause Oversteer), Quicker Steering Response in High Speed Chicanes

I know if you sanded it down you could get it down to 2.0mm.
Maybe a dremel.

Must be a typo...

I have seen lots of guys using HUDY, that are very nice.
I use a mugen I find it very good too.
A lot of us use a single 4 cell LIPO that way only on battery to charge not two.
Main thing to watch out for is make sure the type you get has a narrow wheel and a small diameter. As I have found the thunder tiger type is too wide and to big to get in the hole cutout in the chassis.

Oh sorry Greg, our track has a few bumps but is pretty much smooth for the most part. But as stated by the doctor , a thinner rear sway bar allows the car to roll a bit more creating more rear traction. I tried it because I found the new chassis more rigid than the original so the car relies More on the suspension. The 2.2 feels great.

Last season I used the ofna JLR little starter box which worked great with my xray but then I realized it was bending the chassis every time I pressed down with the igniter. I use the mugen box. Works great!

Looking for a good easy to drive setup for a medium sized track with some open and some tight sections. Are stock 200K/50K diff oils too thick for tighter tracks? Looking for some things to try, car seems edgy with stock setup.

Oils are fine. Try a small sway bay in the rear . What are the issues that your having?
