Rear motor is dead anyway. I'm gonna post my B5 for a hundred bucks in the FS section. Why did I even buy this thing

Discussions about adding weight to the front of the car to improve handling need to start including the servo used. There is a high difference in servo weight and now drivers are starting to use even lighter low-profile servos (in general). For example, the difference between a low profile Airtronics servo and an AE XP servo is more than 3/4 oz.
Adding 1/2 oz (mentioned previously) may not be adding anything at all. If he is using a low profile servo, it may not even be enough to equal another driver's heavy servo vehicle.

Maybe thats my issue. Im new to the hobby. I am using a Savox 1258 servo. Is that considered a heavy or light servo. Also, im running my transponder in front of the servo. How much do transponder weigh and effect front weight. Its probably my driving but every now and then my B5 want to be a lawn dart.
I don't see adding weight as a true solution, more of a bandaid. There are hundreds if not thousands of combinations you can do to the change how it reacts, weight may be simple and fast, but will never be an end all, or teach you how to properly cure cancer.

I run a spektrum S6040 which is essentially the same servo, also have my transponder in front of the servo. It is a full servo vs a shorty so clearly will weigh more there.

If changing the tires, and compound did not help, I would then go to making the shock softer. For instance, kit is 30 wt front oil, white spring. A white front is 3.15 I believe. I went to a thicker oil, of 32.5, but a black spring, which is 2 stages softer on spring. I went up on the oil, 1 stage because I didnt want to lose overall dampening, but wanted a softer feel of the front end for it to bite more. If I went to a green spring with harder oil, that is only 1 stage in both directions and would essentially yield no difference in feel.
At this point, I now had more front traction than rear traction, MUCH easier to deal with in my eyes. I tried different tires first again, helped but didn't cure. Went down to 27.5 shock oil from the kit recommended 30, and VOILA!
To each their own on setup, but this is my method of attacking traction related issues.. Always one change at a time, unless wtih my front shocks, two were needed to make that change effective.
