After that we will see but I'm thinking a lil softer sway bar to get it to dump a lil more. But my gut feeling is the 10 degree spindle change will be what we are looking for as it was exactly the the same on high bite and loose conditions back to back days. I've been testing some piston oil combos as well and I'm liking teknos 8x1.4 fr with 600cst and 8x1.3 rr 525 cst. A lil more testing before I get a good solid setup, but definitely heading the right direction as of now

Seems logical to me and I agree I was seeing a similar issue, especially in the sharp 180 degree S curves. I am running a little lighter oils and planned to star testing with swaybars and droop settings also. Sadly, no racing the next two weekends due to travel, but I do already indeed have some 5042's in my EB48 stash (try to keep enough spares for myself and any of the local guys that might break). I might be able to hit practice after a few setup changes this week.
I am happy with how easily this vehicle breaks down. I did a little cleaning today, and while it has the nice nitro mess, it cleaned up pretty well due to how easy access and disassembly is.
