In the 180 turns, I'm getting some mid-corner/exit push - basically when I'm starting to get back on power. Think I will increase my wheelbase from 1.25 to 2.5 in front of the rear hub. Is there anything else I can do other than running 14deg hubs? Currently running 12deg, 10-15-7 diffs. Thought about increasing the front to 12 or dropping the center to 12.

Normally this comes from the rear being too stiff. Weather the rear camberlink is too low on the tower, too stiff a spring, wheelbase too short, shock stood up too much, too much anti squat, to thick of oil. So moving the wheel base back is on the right track. I usually run it in the middle. #1 Ackerman also helps.

Is anyone using any shock o rings other than the stock o rings? I need to replace my o rings and am wondering if there are any better options than stock. Also, does the hard andonized chassis last longer than the stock chassis?

Thanks. I'm running #2 ackerman, middle inside on shk tower, orange v2 springs, 350 cst oil, shk outside on arm, position 2 on tower (almost laid down completely), 1 deg of anti-squat and 3 deg toe in. I'll start with the wheelbase. Then maybe the ackerman next? Or something else?
Stock. Someone mentioned the losi xrings work but I never tried them. Yes the hard chassis last longer until the coating wears off. Then they are the same.
