The droop is set at 5,5 on the AE gauge, which seemed fine with the jaco tires, but when I went to RPs for the main I didn't reset the droop to account for the smaller tires. I may try dremeling down a set of plastic steering blocks to see if the extra throw helps, but I think it's just a bandaid for a setup that's not quite there.

I'm going to try the Speed 6 body and adding some more droop, any other suggestions on what I should try?

James...............Try the low roll center in the front, 19lb spring in the outer hole on arm and go up and short with your camber links on the tower. I'm also not a fan of the short wheel base in the front.
