The G+ stock set-up has a bit more rear rotation to my liking, i changed to the standard rear hubs with 1 degree toe.
The springs are ok, but now im using green fronts and red rears, (pretty much Todd Hodge's socal set-up, with a few variations), also the car comes with 30wt oil... but that's pretty much your call, depending on how you want the car to react.

Well, to be honest, the XXX-S can't have front anti-dive, because that would require that the front of the hingepin be lower than the back. The best we can hope for is a flat hinge pin, which will reduce the tendency of nose the car to drop during braking and tight cornering.
Basically, it makes cornering more agressive and front braking more effective at the expense of handling bumps.

Dpaton, sure you can. Just use some shims under the rear mounts for the front arms. By shimming this way you can achieve a lower front pin height than the rear.

Uh, there are plenty of ways of getting anti-dive on the XXX-S. You can either add shims to the rear mounts like Doug Gout recommended, or you can simply use a different front suspension arm mount block. The roll center you are running dictates which mout and what position you must run it in...
On high roll center, you can run the 4F block in the lower bulkhead holes to attain anti-dive.
On Losi low roll center, you can run the 0F block in the lower bulkhead holes to attain anti-dive.
Hope this clears up some confusion.

Okay-getting there on the knowledge!!!
So car steers more aggressively in or out with anti-dive?
In other words-is it turning in or squaring up better?Thank you all in advance,
