Yes I have the Factory Team as well, the centre shaft seems the same as the other blue ones.

The servo on the BMI chassis doesnt lower the CG, but overall everything else is lower. The steer servo has advantages as I stated earlier.

I have a problem maybe you NTC3 gurus can answer. My car seems to understeer really badly, especially on power steering. The throw seems fine so i have ruled that out, so im guessing its suspension related. Im running the Barry Baker setup from the '03 McCoy race since i still have V1 rear. The only difference is that I have no rear sway bar and the front is blade type

With having no rear sway bar, you have a lot of weight transfer in the rear and not so much in the front.
Try running with the blade at '--' full flat position. Otherwise you could make the rear springs firmer, soften the front springs or put a sway bar on the back. You could also try running 1 mm less ride height in the front to increase the weight balance onto the front wheels.
Cheers,
Mike.

ok, i already run the blade sway bar at ---, so that cant be changed. I run at a ride height of 4 mm, but thats without trued tires (next purchase). I run purple springs in the front and red in the rear, using 70 wt. Im gonna get a sway bar today and try that out. I wonder if i could also tighten my servo saver a bit to stiffen it up a bit and allow a bit more throw.

With my setup, I run #3 shock pistons with 50wt oil all round. Seems to be ok for my track. I use purple springs up front with shock top mount on the outermost hole. I use red springs on the rear with the top shock mount on the middle hole. I do prefer a bit more understeer though as this suits the way I drive. I also use a front one way.
If I needed more steering I could set the top shock mount at the front to the middle or inner hole or move the rear shock mounting to the inner hole.
Or as has been suggested, move to using a softer front spring.
