I'm having issues with traction rolls with this car on carpet.
The biggest class at MSI is 17.5 blinky.

I'm looking for a setup that will be suitable for med-high grip blinky low-turn.
The setups from the pro drivers work great when the traction is super low but slow the car down until it eventually flips. a temporary solution i've found was to extend the width of the front of the car. 4.2ff and 4.2fr with xray +.75 hexes. this makes the car boaty but it won't flip.
I'm at the end of my rope trying to find a high grip setup for the bd5wx.

for those of you who run 17.5 with the bd5, what sway bars, springs and roll center blocks do you use? any shims on the wheel hexes? shock oil rates?

Thanks for the help
i have them in stock too...Yokomo Blue spring...
