I suggest the opposite in terms of springs and width. You want to make the car softer and norrower. It may seem counter intuitive but thats what works for me. Youre on the right track for droop. I like to run even front to rear droop when the front end has too much traction.

I had that problem also and found out that my floating servo mount was able to turn a bit even with the two screws tight on the chassis(center was off 3-4 clicks of trim). I used a long screw to screw through the antenna mount hole to secure the servo mount with 3 screws to chassis. After that I havenīt had that problem. A friend of mine thinks the screws that come through the cassis bottom out to the servo mount threads before fully locking the mount, so you could try to drill like 0,5mm off from the threads to ensure that doesnīt happen. But 3rd screw works also.

I only got to try rear DCJ's on my Tamiya but it makes the rear end more predictable in the middle of the corner. You'll still get the rotation from the rear end, but it won't suddenly snap away from you when you're driving really hard.

Rear DCJ's are supposed to give you more on power steering. I will check this out tomorrow.

Looking great!
Just one question though,
With the lipo you are using, does that have the grooves beneath the case that locks into those 4 holes in the chassis?
I was looking at a few lipos the other day, and they all had groves beneath them to specially fit a chassy, but what chassy?!
Thanks

Yeah the Lrp lipos have raised protrusions on one side that a slot in to the chassis. I would use them but I haven't found a place is the us that sells them.
Your car looks like Volker's spare car. NICE!

For all those having problems with inconsistency about the car, ive found the problems. You need to replace the shock bladders every day you run. I fond that they swell up and are a pain to rebuild as well as not performing the same.
Also for those struggling with the aggressiveness and edgy steering, I found running the shorter servo arm made the car a lot calmer and consistent.
Right now im running a tamiya servo saver with aluminum horn insert which is the same length as the short servo arm included with the kit.
