So wanted to share an issue that has come up a few times running my buggy. The front sway bar comes out of the plastic end holders. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue but it is annoying me. I will buy some new ends and see if that works or see if I can find aluminum ones that will work. I try not to tighten down the set screw because it's plastic.
How would you pop an aluminum ball cup onto a metal ball stud?

Make sure that the sway bar is 100% free. It should fall freely under its own weight with the ends not attached. You're car will handle a lot better as well. If the set screw has stripped you can run a 4-40 screw (little bigger dia) right in the same hole. It works just fine.

I hit the swaybars with the Dremel and put a small flat on them for the screw to bite on.
Also after threading the screws in and stripping one hole I removed them, wicked a drop of thin CA in and let it cure up. Then reinstall the screws and they are a nice tight fit.
Do this with cars with droop screws in the arms too and they won't adjust them selves.

For those of you running 5.5s in this car, what are you gearing it at?
I was thinking of going 21/72 with my new Fantom 5.5, running my RSX at throttle profile 1 with 0 boost, 0 turbo and running max 5 degrees can timing.

Just you and the other guy Make sure that the sway bar is 100% free. It should fall freely under its own weight with the ends not attached. You're car will handle a lot better as well.

Loose arms
After 2 months all of the arms are loose on the inner shafts, as if the hole diameter are wearing larger. Whats yours like? Time for new arms?

Maybe start there and see how it works for you...
Whats the grip levels at your track?
If it was me I would also try no can timing...with a 5.5 it will help in being smoother. By going to the mildest curve and then adding some back in can timing kinda works against each other... with really just adding heat.
For sure play with Throttle profiles...but don't forget to also play around with throttle min and current limiter.
The trick is to give that thing the most usable power down low...cause that 5.5 will be a monster on top.
