After that, start tuning spring rate and toe in. The rear toe setting seems a little aggressive to me
One last thing. I would suggest at least 0.5* of front toe out. It helps keep the car more stable on corner entry, and it seems to clean up any slop you might have after your suspention parts become a bit worn.

too much traction maybe? try softer shocks, less chamber or go with harder tire compund
Hey guys heres what i have: TC5r, sorex 28s, tekin RS (203 program) and a 94362z servo- my issue is when i corner a lot of the time my car is on 2 wheels.. how can i get it to stay more planted?? I had 0 degree blocks in the front and this made it pretty twitchy on the straights and super hard cornering, I switched to 6 degree blockes and it tamed it down a lot in the straightaway but i dont have the cornering like i would like.. any ideas??

Tech Adept
I would try changing your tyres, I had cs27's at my new club, tried everything but car hooked mid corner: answer talk to the fast guys- I put sweep 32 with my std set up and now I am flying.
I've found I like a harder tyre then tweak the set-up to get turn in,
hope you get sorted out..

Little update: i got my car to handle better, adjusted the droop, shock weights, shock oils, and rear toe. now when i come to a certain corner my inside rear tire actually comes off of the ground!! should i give stiffer springs a try??

which corner, how much and how long? Sometimes it's not necessarily a problem unless it is effecting your speed or handling. You are already running stiffer springs than most so not sure that is the change to make. I had a similar problem, I asked Junior about it and he said his did too and to not worry about it.

its the last corner just before the straightaway, Randy gave me some hints and he is able to hold almost full throttle from the turn around, around the last corner and all the way down the straight.. however i know hes been running for a long time and he has the experiece.. I have been driving the cars for over 12 years now and now i feel like a rookie!!

I will have to take a look next time we race. Did you check your ride height after we removed the extra weight on the battery side? You may need to adjust that some.
