My shocks are the TRF mini shocks built per the instructions. But when the caps were put on I had the pistons at the bottom of the shocks (fully extended). Could the rebound be causing an issue as well?
Thanks in advance,

P.S. At this point I have a whopping 2oz of lead over the rear axle in order to try and tame it. I would like to ditch this if at all possible.
Could I ask a few ??????s. This is so the experts will have enough information to answer your request for help. Have you tried different tires???? What springs are you using???? Shock oil????? Rear camber???? Roll bars, front or rear or both???? Ride height front and rear???? Toe out---how much?????? What body????? Diff---tight or loose???? Ball diff or gear diff???? Did you make any transmitter adjustments????? If so what did you try???? What kind of track and what sort of layout?????
I blow hot and cold on whether droop is a significant adjustment on a Mini. But it seems to work backwards on a Mini from a TC. This is just my opinion and applies only to the tracks I run at and with my set ups.
For the rest of it, I'll let the experts opine.
