The front hinge pin holder on the back of the arm has a washer behind it, if you increase the thickness of the washer it adds forward arm sweep.

I have the Reedy setup on this car except for the carbon arm inserts (which I'll have soon) and I have the stock box springs (these are softer than the Xgear springs Ty is running??).

Everything is pretty good except longer sweeping corners. On constant throttle it's pushing slightly. If I increase the power to get the back end rotating more, if feels super loose and comes around unpredictably. Any suggestions on increasing on-power turning while reducing the snappiness of the rear stepping out too quickly? The rear tires I'm using came off my mod buggy and they're hooked up on that car. I don't think it's a case of wrong tires.

I have the shock shaft lengths exactly as described in the setup sheets. However, the front droop is pretty extreme. The springs don't even touch the collars at full extension. Am I missing something or is this how it's supposed to be?

Thanks for any help. I'm definitely looking forward to getting this car more dialed in.
I put more kick-up in the front to help on power steering, I swapped out the 3dot hinge pin holder for the 2 dot in the front.
