+ First thing try a 1.3 front roll bar (loads of steering)
+ Raise front ride height to 5.5, same as rear to give front end more roll
+ Lay down rear shock (better rotation middle to exit)
+ 1 degree front toe out instead of 0.5 ( better steering around sweeper and initial turn in, also better stability)
+ lower ackerman to 1mm or 0mm to get more mid to exit steering
+ Lengthening front turnbuckle link will give you more mid to exit steering as well.
Hope some of those ideas help!!

With the chassis, 0.75mm has been taken in on both sides front and rear in each of the corners. If you compare it to yours you will see the down stop parts on chassis seems to stick out further on the photos.
You can also see the servo has been moved fully inboard!

Despite the extra cutouts the current '12 chassis feels almost identical when flexing it in my hands to the Exotek 11 chassis.

It's when you put thicker shims at the front of the front wishbone pivot block and use thinner shims at the back of the front wishbone.
Effectively giving the front arms a 'swept back' look.
I believe it's supposed to help with turn in at corner entry.
Although when I've tried it outdoors it's been of limited use, I think it requires good grip to begin with and on tight carpet tracks it can make the car hook on sweeping corners

I also started with middle hole front links and went to shorter, which helped.
