Remove the 1 mm shims from the front link mount point and place them under the rear pivot ball assembly. Effectively raising the rear pod 1mm. Makes the car rotate better from the rear. When the grip is high I also only dope the center of the rear tire. About the width of the SXT dauber which is about 60-70% of the tire.

This car has been very dominate at 5280 since Kyle and I started running it here.
Thanks for the tip and will give it a try. I will be sure to see you and Kyle when I come up for the MHIC race in April for any set-up help. Need to keep Mario and Dumper honest with their CRC's.
