Actually I'm not talking about speeding up the car, I'm talking about minimizing wasted energy that could be used to propel the car forward instead of under steering. It's up to the driver whether he wants to go faster or not through traffic, but at least if you have the option to go faster if he decides.

A few months ago I made an experimental bonestock M05 with plastic bushings and all. The car bounced around and understeered like a crappy bonestock car which is fine for someone that's just starting out.

The 2 things I had to change to get it to run properly were:
1) Diff (monkey racing diff inside)
2) Oil dampers (I just took the clear housing ones off the V2)


Gravity already has the oil dampers but not the diffs. After diffs, I suggest trying tires to match his surface and play with springs as necessary. I only have limited experience on Ozite back in the day (mostly ran foam for pancar), so you guys can offer better solutions for tires.
