I have a f104 Pro with Shimzu 71/72, High Traction T Bar, 17 wt oil , black grease in dampner and when I'm trying to get on the power say coming onto a straight the back end wants to move out. I turned the throttle down and it is not as bad but not as fast either. I tried turning up the throttle expo and it helped some but not much.

I tried my friends F104 X1 and it was may more hooked up, I could get on the power without the car throwing the back end out. He has same tires, traction plate.

The main differance I can see is the side ways shock instead of my dampner, and the steel drive shaft and the counter wieght.

Should I buy the steel shaft and counter wieght? Will they help me hook up better? oR Will the /f104Pro never be as good as a X1?
