Yeah, me too...

Does your tail end spin coming out of corners? Try tightening the front diff. It makes a whole lot of difference stability wise. Else, you could try one shock up on the rear shock tower.

The harder rear sway bar would probably be good. To compensate for the understeer you may have when tightening the front diff (I assume that's why you're not running the front diff tighter than it is), try a harder rear sway bar setting. You could try the higher rear roll center or use a more vertical mounted rear shocks to make it slightly harder.
This is what I do on mine. I take out the front sway bar. Use a hard 2.5mm rear sway bar. That would give you a lot of on power and off power steering. Then tune the front diff always making sure the front is much harder than rear. I try to play with the front diff and only making that as a variable.
While tuning the front diff, I always try to run a harder front diff setting FIRST as much as I possible can get away with and if I had to loosen it more to get the steering I want, I then try something else.

A little easier to drive? More stable? Less twitchy? I always use more holes with thicker shock oils.

Then you saw heavily Photochopped pics !

But if you look at 3Hobby site, you'll see that there's this foreign guy there in almost every pic.

He's the oldest.

He hides the wheel chair really good.
