If you're loosing to an 009 in low grip then your setup does need some work It's pretty easy to see why you've got a bit of push though, so it's an easy fix. Your front rc is a bit high, and your rear rc is a bit low, the longer wheelbase is stopping rotation, and the no rear sway bar wont be helping in the fast bends

Here is my setup again, copy the roll centres and wheelbase and see how you go. I run this wheelbase everywhere and always have, it just seems spot on. Also, when you say you're running softer springs, what are they? and what is the ambient temp when you race
hi

cheers for the set up sheet i'll try it out

i use tamiya blue front and yellow rear , our track is low/medium grip and temp is again medium temps for europe

i also use Sorex32 tyres and somtimes if i'm feeling rich i use Vvec30s
