To all the guys who are dialled...
I can't seem to dial out the mid-corner understeer I am experiencing with the car. I've tried different springs, camber link locations, different wheelbase spacer combos, different ackerman and still no luck... Any suggestions?

Have you tried less caster at the front?
Or possibly a light anti-roll bar at the rear?
And has your damping been in tune with the spring rates? - a "springy" car might "jump" in the corner, making the car feel a bit understeery/oversteery.

the hpi are great they have the stock set up and the hb set up
if you want to use the shorter shocks.

Running navy or grey springs with #3/40 wt which feels kinda right to me. Also running black sway bars front and rear, might take out the front bars?

Looking at the navy and grey springs rates (it's confusing because HPI make several blue or navy springs), I would think 50 or 60wt oil would be more suitable for those springs.
Yes, a lighter anti-roll bar up front, or no anti-roll bar at all might help (I don't know the colours from stiff to soft).
BTW, I don't get what you're problem is with the caster - are you saying the 6deg blocks cause problems, or are you talking about problems if you change the kick-up (i.e. inboard wishbone mounts) from 2deg to 0deg? Because I've had no problems with my 6 deg caster blocks - and my understanding is that the pro3 likes less caster.

The ackerman just makes the car turn in quicker but mid corner understeer is still there... With the 6 degree thing, I meant the kick up... The 0 degree kick up configuration makes the little raised sections on the block scrape the ground. My block is now flat and the metal insert is starting to show!

See, i never run my car with 0 kick-up - just don't like the idea.
Are you running a top-deck? On a grippy surface the stiffer chassis will carry more speed in the corners.
Are you running a "race" body, like a stratus?
