Ball diff installed, 30w in rear shocks, 32.5 w in front. Dropped punch down on ESC to 60, with throttle ferq set to smoothest setting (viper VTX 10R).

Still a bit loose coming out of the cornor but better then it was originally. Will try lengthening rear links a bit more to see if I can get a bit more roll in the suspension.

Also going to see if/where I can add a bit of weight to the rear to see if I can get the weight distribution to something around 62/38
I also forgot to ask - what is the total rear toe you're running? Most of these low grip setups are saying to run 4 degrees of rear toe.
