Yes
laying the shocks down will add lateral grip (side grip) using the inside hole on the arms adds forward grip.... Either could fix your problem since neither of us can actually watch your car. Give both a shot and see what work in the area you need

one would think 20+ years in the hobby that i would retain some of this knowledge.

Tony is spot on that these are just suggestions to to try out. Since we cant physically see your car this is the best we can do.....
Reason why I said go to the inner hole with the rear arms that you gain rear traction but will lose rotation. I did back to back comparisons and was a huge difference. Since I run mod and the way I drive I like rotation with a little slide

I tried the car again today with proper clay tires. Not difference in lap time between my KF and B5M, so the setups seems ok. Tried the upper pin holes in the rear, but did not see much or any improvement in traction. With the pins in the upper hole, the car tends nose dive a little when jumping though.

i also think i had to much camber as the tire wear is only in the middle of the tire. i was running 3* you would think i had 0* with tire wear only in the middle...

You do know having -3 degrees of camber is too much? Whats wrong with kids these days
more camber is not a good thing.

have you ever tried other setups from Petitrc? (especially from the LOW GRIP* astro turf selections?)
http://www.petitrc.com/setup/schumac...ville20140921/
Julien does really well and it might be a thing to try out.
PS~ I'm looking at your set up sheet and your tires selection seems odd to me. I've only ran on turf 1 time but with schumacher mini pins and I had way too much traction. on Julien's setup hes running a different tire combo that might just work at your track.
To me and others trying to help its frustrating trying to problem solve over the net. I know for sure if we were there it would be an easy fix.
**Does it only spin out 1 side or it doesn't matter?

oh yea i know but i appreciate your help. as for my defense on the 3* of camber... well i was at a loss so i said it cant make it any worst lol. i usually run between 1-2*
tire choice.. ill start off by saying i have bought so many tires this season its nuts. the track we run at isnt just a track. its actually just a track on sundays. then the rest of the week its a tennis court at a sports complex. so the astro turf is real turf with sand mixed in. i think the sand throws the traction out the window. so far the dboots in the rear and yellow mini spikes up front have been the best.
julians set up from Gargenville was the one i copied the most. (some of the things i could not do as i didnt have the parts)

Anyone have a recommendation for an aluminum servo horn in place of the Core CR192 that seems to be unavailable in the U.S.?

Not in stock, as I just ordered a bunch of stuff from DRC (awesome service btw) and this wasn't in or looking to be in any time soon. Was hoping for alternative that others might have used successfully.
