Driving the car a bit harder and using the brakes to set the front end has helped me a ton in the tighter bits of the track.
I also made some small changes to the kit setup.
The only non kit parts on the car are aluminum chassis braces, front springs and carbon center top plate.
I now am running the truggy front silver springs with 35 weight oil. Upper shock location laid down one hole from the kit setup. 2 deg negative camber.
Silver buggy spring in the rear with 30 weight oil. Stock shock and camber link locations. (I did try the inner camber link location one hole down....the car had tons of forward bite....but would not rotate well) 2 degrees negative camber
Ride height .....28mm.

I would like to get the car better through some of the rough stuff....but I am very comfortable with it now on 90 percent of the track.
Best of luck.
