Default Ran better today

Still have the spool on, hope to have diff ready this week. Made some changes that seemed to really help the car.

Removed one damper tube. Using 10k in remaining tube.

Was running 3mm front and 4 mm rear ride height. Lowered rear to 3.5 and took just a little droop out.

Had 1 mm shim under top shock mount and no shims under the front. Changed to 2 mm rear and 1 mm front.

Added slight tow out on front.

Doped fronts 1/2 and full rears, wiped clean and doors again, let sit a few minutes, wiped on carpet and put on track.

Car was a lot easier to handle with careful throttle and steering. Get out of the grove and all bets are off. I imagine once the diff is in place it will settle down even more.

Been reading a lot on here to get up to speed on the rubber tire class and how people are setting up for them. Still lots to learn.
