Heavier springs than the stock blue ones also help keep the body lean to a minimum and keep the inside front wheel planted.

Lower roll centers help keep the inside front wheel planted as well.

Increase the front droop to keep from picking up the inside front wheel off the track as the body rolls.

You'll still get beaten off the corners by the cars with gear diffs and spools, but the ball diff can carry more speed into the corners and turns better in the center of the corner. It's a trade-off.

Good luck!!

Thanks Mark. Say.. how tight do you tighten that front ball diff? Couldn't that help a lot with inside wheel wheelspin?
