Here's what I ran in the main. car felt the same as earlier in the day.
I tried a Hero change and let the diff slip.... but slipped too much. At the tone I slammed the throttle from P1 and caused a 4 or 5 car maylay because the diff was too loose.
Anyway dissect this if you please.

New front end. assembled as instructions say
low profile servor. xray servo saver. spacers to make links level. ackerman links pointing backwards from center to out.
trailing arm position
steering ball stud outer most position
Tamiya Black front springs, Tamiya antiwear on kingpins
TCS /pit tires - no sauce on fronts no clean. 2 layers of CA on full sidewall
Rears fx2 applied all minutes not on track. reapplying once dry until heat before my qualifier
new 3 run rear tires, old many run front tires
center shock - 3 hole piston - asso 25wt oil - mini old folorescent short blue spring
side links - outter most hole - asso black springs - not touching the link
ride height F 5.5 M 4.5 R 5
side tube - Tamiya antiwear grease
gearing 88/33
Body Ferrari F60
Speedo Hobbywing v3.0 inital 1st punch 3 2nd punch 7 goes up to 30 I think.

I could drive the car but I could not race the car, if that makes sense.
any throttle input more than a whisper would over rotate the car back into the barrier.
Here's how I could drive the car (not at all the way I wanted) I could let the car push off power before the turn. As the apex came I could barely touch the throttle to make the car rotate. then on exit if I throttled a hair to hard... the rear end would come around too quickly and far. Try to do that in a racing situation with someone breathing down our neck. lol. its stressful
Maybe I should have locked the diff down tighter instead of loosening?

Thanks for the help
