Our track is rather high bite so I am running a modified dynamic strut front end with the longer upper arms. It really helps smooth out the steering on the car. If anything my car pushed a bit on the first run. A stiffer shock setting and installing the 3rd screw in the t-plate helped quite a bit. I'm going to try some thicker lube in the dampening tubes this weekend.

Here is my setup

Front:

0.20" springs with green slime on kingpins
long front arms
stock castor
-1 deg. camber
no toe in or out
4 mm ride height

Rear:

40 wt oil with silver spring
0.075" t-plate with 3 screws
losi light hydra fluid in dampening tubes
4 mm ride height

TRC purple fronts with 1/3 sauce (JTG)
TRC grey rears with 7/8 sauce (JTG)

small amount of exponential and -20% steering curve

Chameleon 2 geared 28/100 on 47 mm rears.
