Agreed, I've tried some Magentas & liked them(but only when doing a bare minimum of doping, less than 1/3 of the fronts), but I was also using pink rears(it's my go-to rear), if my car is going to be less than perfectly balanced, I prefer it to be more stable. And more often, up front I like Purples, might be worth a try to calm the car down. And about expo, yes, you can use it to initially slow the steering down, but to still get full travel, it will actually speed the servo up toward the end of servo travel. I used to use it a lot, but more recently, I decided to train myself to work with full travel & a Linear expo(in other words, no expo at all, set to be linear as possible), first in Virtual RC Pro, & then started doing it in my real car, & now that I've gotten used to it, I'm liking it that way(& I think it's made me faster as well, relying more on my driving than on an adjustment). Something to think about...
