You'd have to share the rest of your setup to see why you are rolling too much. But, I've had too much roll also and I am running 2000 in my diff. I am going to be testing out 3000 and 5000 this weekend. Our current track layout has a lot of S turns so it should be a good test bed.
I was also thinking about either going with the tamiya or possibly try to find a Xray pin that might work,
I am running very basic setup, 3000 diff fluid, -2 camber f/r, -4 toe in back, 0 toe in front, 35 wt shock fluid all around, stock r1 springs, 5mm droop and 5mm ride height, everything else is basically setup from stock. I get around the more technical turns with out a problem, it when I am going into a 90 degree turn after straight away the car seems to either roll or go onto 2 wheels before settling. I also know there is a possibility that my car is doing this because it is unbalanced, but I am not to sure how to get the car balance with out breaking the bank to get a fancy setup station or tweak board. Any suggestions... Local track is have a big race 3 weeks from now so I'm trying to get this right.
Any help would be great..
Cheers,
