I still can't get my EXO104 as dialed as my F103, I know the setup is there it's like you said the stiffer chassis responds to changes better so my lack of setup knowledge/experience makes setting up the EXO104 harder.
I'm convinced the setup to make the EXO104 drive as well is in there just it's on more of a fine 'point' than the F103.
Totally to do with chassis stiffness too.

Move as much weight as possible to the rear of the car , 15wt side dampener oil and use super soft side springs (raise up the side springs in fact so that it does not touch the side links). It should stabilize the car greatly.

I noticed while prototype testing that a flexible chassis created more steering I was told by someone in Japan that that would happen. I think it is because the front is lighter and narrower then the battery end so unsprung weight at the front naturally creates more responsiveness at that end.
I think Tamiya uses the fiberglass to add a little steering, make the car heavier (more stable) and save on some $$$. Fiberglass is 1/4 the cost of good carbon fiber....

Is the difference more of an F104 thing or did I just have it wrong all along?
Both of my F1s (103 and 104) are short top deck and FRP chassis and feel pretty good.

I stand corrected. I was sure that my 103 got much more traction with the short top deck and FRP chassis?
