First of all:
Thanks for all your answers!!!

The wheels simply start to spin as there just seems too much power. Thats why I reduced the max throttle.
How can I get more ackerman? I'm allready using the rear holes on the bellcrank. Using the front ones would reduce ackerman and set the steering links more angled. (see picture below)

Still waiting for the new Ride GR tyres as we have to use them for our club races. I will have to deal with those then.
I changed to an RSD spring which is for long TC dampers and a little softer than the kit red spring compared by pressing both between two fingers. You can also see it on one of the pictures below.

On the centre shock I'm using 30wt Associated oil (350cst).
On the side damper I'm using 10.000cst (Associated Diff oil) with 2 o-rings installed.
Where should I put shims - under the rear pod? How many mm?
I just put 2mm shims under the pivot linkage (see blue shims in the picture below)
Ride hights are: front 4.8mm and rear 5.0mm
Track is quite bumpy in some parts, thats why I also increased uptravel in the rear to allmost 2mm and in the front to about 1.5mm

Any more suggestions?
