I would definitely drill ur shock caps and run as close to 0 rebound as you can. Go to hpi silvers if you have them. (If not no biggy).
I would also go to at least 1000 in the rear diff if not 2000.(kit oil is too light). Also another adjustment you could try is more rear droop, rake in the ride height, more front camber gain, and trying anti dive. Also if you are running stock the kit setup has way too much toe. U could leave the E block on the rear and flip the FR blocks to the opposite the way the kit shows to get less toe.
those will all help. If you adjust all that u should get the car to spin out lol. Just try some things and find a good balance.
anything more than that I will have to see where you'reat now
Thanks Austin. I am running a 17.5t motor and the car has 1300 weight oil in the rear diff and the MR33 Red springs are rated at 301 so very similar to HPI Silver.
Current settings are 6mm ride height front and rear, 2 degree camber all round, 3 degree toe in at rear and 1 degree toe out front. Downstops at 6 front and 5 rear on Hudy tool.
I will definitely start by rebuilding the shocks with 0 rebound as a start and maybe buy the rear 2 degree axle block .
