I started to dump my CRC Gen x pro for another car, but CRC's did so well at the birds...maybe I'll work at it a little more. We have a great weekly WGT class at the local track. An A and B and sometimes a C class.
Here's my problem. This is a smooth carpet track and I can turn in fine, but push coming out of turns. I am running 1/12 kingpins with .55 springs, -5 camber works ok and if I go to a full -1 degree...pushes more. I run 1mm of rear droop. We have to run spec tires (BSR purple) saucing a 1/3 to 1/2 of the front tire gives me more grip than if I were to sauce 3/4. Running front axle in trailing position....tried trailing and neutral, not much difference.
I don't think it would take much to get it better, I just haven't hit on what it takes. Just looking for what some guy's are running to help push off.

Ps you have way too much camber... Once you loosen up that front end change your camber to -1.5

Thanks Joey, that is some good advice. I will be trying numerous things, but I am sure at some point I will get it worked out to my liking....with the setup I have it worked better at a half a degree negative camber than it did at negative one degree? and the more I sauced the width of the tire the worse it got....both those things seem a little back wards to me, but with the changes I will be making....we'll see.

Tempted to try running my cell at the rear of the car, still inline but as far back as it will go. What sort of effect would that have it on the handing?

more weight in the back= less steering

im sorry, joe. im going to have to disagree with you. the more weight you get closer to the pivot ball, but in front of the pivot ball, you will gain steering.
in the 1/12 cars, battery back is more aggressive than battery forward.

Find that the flat servo is better for faster sweeping corners; so, it depends on the track layout.

LE is best suited to 1S lipo battery configurations; but, 2S or 235mm are still doable.

At time zone.. Its a huge track and i haven't tested both setups but since their track is fast, big, and high grip.. Front mount servo felt really good there.
