Last friday i tried different things:
1) increase caster (2 washers back);
2) stiffer center spring (copper);
3) stiffer side springs (.60);
4) 10min of additive on the front tires and 5min on the rears.
But nothing changed.

The mod that got me the best result was adding 15% of drag brake to the esc.
But still not enough steering.

Would moving the battery backward (closer to the motor) improve steering?

At the end of the day i broke both left and right steering block in a single crash...

As soon as i replace the broken parts i will post some pics of the front suspension.
