Also used the new clutch reversed system and found it better than the normal one. Smoother take off!

So you might be saying whats my problem, basically during practice and qualification the car is .50 per lap slower (avg lap 19.2sec) and very hard to drive (unstable). My biggest concern is that in chicanes the car understeers and on some others tight turns it oversteers heavily that i loose control its also very twitchy. How am i going to sort this out.

They prep the track by sugar and water and from how i set the brake i have noticed that track is very slippery early in the morning.

Suggestions plz

Thanks

In the morning when the track is dirty your car will be harder to drive as it doesn't generate enough grip then as the day goes on your car is fastest. This is totally normal.
Like blis said let the track come to you

If clutch setup is to aggressive when traction is low, the car can become a bit difficult to drive and react as you say.

I don't know you set-up, but have you tried looseing the spring 0.2mm?

Just a thought.

Coming into a corner a bit aggressive will spin the car even if I don't apply brakes. Tried reducing rear droop to reduce rear camber rise but no effect. Thought of trying harder front shocks and another test with a harder front sway bar.

What caster are you running up front and how much toe-out on the front wheels?

but, what about your steering servo settings? I run mine -40% expo.
I've never had the problem which you are facing. could it be that a plastic suspension part is bending somewhere?
