Out of curiosity, and a desire to arrive at a better driving buggy, I checked the spring balance on my RC8.2e. I'm running the kit springs, and it turns out that the front was too stiff with the shocks set up the way I've been running it. However, I was able to get it balance by changing the shock positions, in effect softening the front a lot and stiffening the rear a bit.

Knowing that I would now need to do something with the roll centers, I went ahead and lowered the rear roll center a bit since I now have more wheel rate. I haven't had a chance to put it on a track yet, but I did a little testing today in dirt/gravel/grass. It really feels a lot more responsive but also more predictable so far. I'm really anxious to see how it jumps now, because it previously was a little inconsistent and sometimes like to fly nose high too easily.

Good stuff in here.
