it suffers from understeer in mid corner and corner exit. any ideas of how to get rid of it?? i want the car to have less understeer and carry more cornerspeed in general. other than that the car is great.

glad for any pointers. attached a link to the current setup.

thx guys!!!!

SETUP
What is your droop? too much weight is being transffed in the rear in mid and exit (on power), so less traction on the front... softer spring in the front or or stiffer spring on the rear so it doesn't transfer much weight on the rear, or higher ride height on the rear. you can also try more droop on the front. what chassis are you using the super flex (more holes) or the regular. but I hope you get the point why it is pushing...it more about weight distrubution.
