yes it is but not as much as you would think....its weird when i first did it it felt as though i had less steering but in fact i just needed to adapt to it.

now OMG it just pulls itself around our track...im not claiming to be a great driver but i think im ok and at our track i have several 7 lap heats in 5min...never anymore than that the second week driving it in both heats i had 9 lap runs....that sealed it for me even though it didnt make me feel like i was faster i was

i also moved the upper arms to the top hole and moved the ackerman all the way back.
im also running dace towers and the shocks are laid down pretty good but it is stuck loose or wet
