Thank's a lot
Martinm: Oh... I find myself can brake "softly" if running with front one-way only... I think you can reduce the brake of your ESC. I think there is a package of ball differentials... I'll check for you then!

Oh, here is my running set-up last Saturday. It works pretty work in my local track, which is an asphalt, technical and medium size track:

Spring: 1.4x5.50 front/rear
Oil: yokomo #450 f/r
(Adjust oil/air mixture so the dampers rebound very slowly.)

Damper length: 59.5/63.5mm f/r
Rebound: 2.0/5.0mm (adjusted by down-stop screws)
(Assume tire radius=31.0mm)

Roll bar: 1.2/1.2mm f/r
Ride height: 4.5/5.0mm f/r

Toe: -1.0/2.5 degree f/r
Camber: -0.5/-0.5 degree f/r

Upper arms on uppermost holes of front/rear hubs
Upper arms height: approx. 2.0/5.0mm above upper chasis

Damper holes: 3rd outermost f/r
Lever: 60/75%

Front skid: 0.5mm below front A-arms
Rear anti-squat: 0

9-Turn motor
72 spur gear
22 pinion gear

no centre one-way
hard A-arms

Please correct me if I miss out anything!

I think we can place weight on the motor side as those electronics should be lighter than the battery! But I'm not sure will this makes torque steer even worser...

Ian: Oh, it really depends on what electronics we're using. For me, I run 9402 servo, LRP V7.1, KO reciever and Sanyo 3300: so, I approx. put 10g in front of servo, 10g next to motor (chasis edge side) and finally 20g near LRP (nearly centre)!
I think you can reduce my weight suggestions a little bit as you're running 2400/3000 batts.!

Default 2400/3000 batterys

I use an Excel chassis on my normal cuda and for the weight dist` with the 3000 Panasonics I usually put 10g right in front of the motor and thats it but before with the normal chassis I used a set up very simillar to Fai`s but without the weight in front of the servo
