I'll start a new topic...
I've got a fairly good setup on my TC3 for bumpy track conditions, but what can I do for more on-power steering or better yet, Turn-in steering...
I have thought about a couple of things:
#1. More toe-in
#2. Softer Front springs
#3. Lighter weight front oil (already at 30 weight)
Thanks for any suggestions all....

More on-power steering, try less droop in the front or more droop in the rear but it might push on exit.

2 degree toe-in on the front? Are you using any anti-squat?

Again.....draw it out on graph paper.
Take 10 minutes and draw it out......move the inner camber link location UP ....because you spaced the shock tower UP.

The higher the inner pivot point of the camber link will decrease the roll of the chassis.

2 degrees toe-in for the front is too much in the wrong direction. Run 0-1 toe-out on the front is good. Anti-squat directs weight more upfront on and off-power. How much kickup are you running?

Set it up at zero toe first.
Usually, we set it up with about 1/2 degrees toe-in (that's half). Toe-in on an electric sedan makes it more stable - if it's toed out, you're gonna be twitchy.
Strangely enough, it's opposite with my nitro sedan - toe-in is twitchy as a druggy without a fix! Toe out seems to pull the car straight. . .wierd.
If you're used to 2 deg in - I would go to about 0 and see how that works. It will prolly be too twitchy for you and you will run in a half degree.

toe
As with real cars, 4wd works better with a slight amount of toe out .5 too 2.0 degrees. I believe it is because, under power the front wheel pull forward slightly. so if your at zero, when your under power your actually at negative toe position.
