Hi 1/12 set-up gurus... I am trying to make a fairly major change to the handling of my RM01. Currently it has heaps of on-power and high speed steering but almost no off-power or low speed steering. I've checked through a couple of setup guides but not sure where to start. I know the front end does limit me a fair bit and if nothing else works I'll have to change it but for now its what I have.

Current setup -

10.5T
kit side springs and pitch spring
450wt oil in pitch shock (option Tamiya shock)
40000wt on roll shock (friction)
original kit front end but using Associated .020 springs with 40000wt oil on the kingpins and Tamiya option ride height shims to give more castor.
Battery slight more to the rear (not a lot of room for changes).
currently 0deg toe

Tried various tyres but usually end up with Pink rear with purple or magenta fronts... going to try some of the new Greens and Blues when I next order some tyres.

Cheers
