are you running stand-up or lay-down front shocks?? If you're running stand-up, lay the shock on the inner most hole, that will make the fronts 'harder' and force more weight on the rear shocks....you can also try standing the rears all the way out (outter most hole), this 'softens' the rear shock
i gotta look at mine again, but i know i was running the hardest of the option springs in the front, and the softest rear spring - but then did a little 'experimenting' and was able to go the blue spriings in the front and grey in the rear....i'll try to go over mine and give you the setup - i think it worked really well

Are you guys using that wing on pretty much all the body styles, leaving them clear?
I know my 510 is kind of "skate-ey" sans-wing. Was thinking of a body change, but if that would cure it it would be cool.

A Question for those who have built the Porsche RSR
A few points that I haven't seen covered before when using the Porsche RSR body:
1. Lay Down or Stand Up Shock position? (pg 18-19)
2. Lay Down or Stand Up Servo position? (pg 24)
3. Spacer under steering posts? (pg 15)
4. Spacer under rear gear case? (pg 21)
I thought these might be covered in the instruction manual for the body, but not so.
Thanks!

If you look at my picture i think you can se that it works both ways on the shocks!
And the servo is lay down on mine!
