shim on front roll center this shoud give more steering at entry and mid corner

also try mounting the body a little more forward and less caster

on the rear a little more sway bar angle , ride ht 1 mm split between front and

rear( lower on front )

Front;
50wt (serpent oil) 3 holes/red springs
lower hole on tower
Sway bar disconnected
Dynamic caster set-up (this helped some, would have to post pics but it reduces caster as suspension is compressed).
35sh Serpent/Jaco
Short wheelbase helped, but had to go back to long for exhaust clearance.
0mm roll center spacers
Rear;
50wt. 2 holes/blue springs
Upper hole on tower
20 degrees or so sway bar
38sh Serpent/Jaco
middle roll center position for lower pins
I have adjusted toe & camber settings through the normal range.
I have also moved a bit of weight forward (1 once of lead to front of battery tray, LiPo battery behind the lead. Result is same weight as NiMh but slightly more forward).
The Jaco 38's test 2-3 points softer than the Jaco 35's! Will try 40 rear/35 front.
Any other ideas?

Darrint--Will try more holes &or lighter oil. The dynamic caster is achieved by installing ball studs on the upper arms (near the hinge-pin area) & another set of ball studs on the upper plate @ 45 deg. angle to the rear. Connect with a turnbuckle. All caster spacers are removed. As you get deeper into the corner & chassis roll increases, you get a reduction in caster. Increase or decrease the overall amount of caster by adjusting the turnbuckles. Dan Louis came up with the system. I got an immediate improvement in overall steering when I installed it (want more tho).
Will try adjusting roll-centers and shock pistons/oil today.
Thanks for the suggestions.
