I even turned my dual rate down to 75 or so to limit the steering. I gave up trying to tune it and just drove it. Spent more time laughing while driving than anything
This is the setup I ran. Used Gold Barcodes, 7.5T motor geared 19/84.

Bob, like you I think the truck is like driving a land yacht. I would have quit on this truck a long time ago if not for my daughter. She likes this truck, so I am making every effort to make it the best I can for her (she is 8 today). I started off with cavs nats setup. And made adjustments from there. For me, most of the work is in the shocks on body mounts. I went with blues up front also, but used #3 pistons and 35wt oil, while in the rear I went green springs, #2 pistons with 27.5 oil. For limiters I went 5 front and 3 rear. I tried mounting the body a little higher for here, because the body required it. I bought the body used and have no idea on the make/model. But it has "Hello Kitty" on it, so I have to use it. The more i lowered it, the better it felt. I still hate that body and feel like even the rtr body is way better, but what can I do, lol. Wit hthe RTR or Proline body I run the same mounting holes at cav's nats setup.
Also, 3oz behind the battery is nice. Seems like a lot, but it calms the truck down.
