Losi springs are less than desirable, you might be a little light in rear oil, on a low traction track I probably wouldn't be running that much caster, id probably be running no sidepod screws at all, and I probably wouldn't be running any ackerman spacers. That's just to start. Hard to say without physically handling the car.

$25 a set vs $22 a pair.
Using the low frequency ones.
Thanks for taking the time you have anyway.
I'll try adding the bump steer washers.
I am going to change the rear shock oil to 30wt (don't have any 27.5 at the moment), and I think I can get away with the front being a bit heavier too.
I tried it with the front pivot block at 25 degrees and found it was worse, I'll give it another go though.
I found with no sidepod screws it seemed to make the steering twitchy.
I put in the front screws found it made it a bit better then put in the next 2 but didn't really notice any difference.
The ackermann spacers I did just to experiment and I found it helped a bit with exit steering, I'll take them out again, see if the other changes I've done since will make it better.
I realise it's hard without seeing it in person and on this track but thanks again.

I don't have time at the moment to really dive in, but right off the bat there are some big issues. The first thing I see, is that you cannot run 32 degrees of caster, and 0mm in bump steer washers. Car will drive like butt. There are also other scattered issues in your setup.

I feel like its one of the times where it is worth the $. First off, you won't need fronts, the pink works everywhere, even on Cav's B4 
For rear, Gold would be the best compromise if you wanted a single pair, the stock reds can be stiff, the only other option I have, or have used is the white rear.

Maybe parts are expensive... But they don't break or wear out haha!

my suggestion is now that you have 'your setup' documented and you know how it feels, go and put on either Jared's CRCRC setup or the Japanese setup and compare. Not saying they are better or worse, but you will feel the differences between yours and the other and you can decide for yourself. I personally am running Jared's CRCRC setup and just adjusting for track conditions.

Will do, thanks, I'm keen on trying someone else setup to compare to my own, even if I dont like it I may find things to use on what I currently use.
I accept the costs of a Kyosho but I couldnt justify the cost of a set of kyosho springs, but if I only need to buy 2 or 3 pairs then I can justify that, I'll see how I go with the Losi springs.
