Track - Hard pack with some dust, parts rough and parts smooth

Problem 1. I'm having lots of push even at slower speeds. I'm having to use my brakes to swing the back end around on slower turns. Is this just normal for these buggies? I've only ever driven 4x4 Short Course.

Problem 2. 2 out of the 4 races my servo arm connecting ball cup popped off. Any better options as far as parts go? A pretty hard chassis slap caused the first one I believe which could be part of the issue.

Loved racing this buggy and can't wait to figure out my issues and go kick butt!
I'm sure you'll hear more from smarter racers than I but your issues sound the same as mine first weekend out. I yanked one of the washers out from under the front ballstuds on the tower side. Also, I added some weight up front. 7 grams under the front brace and 7 on each side of the servo
