I ran my truck for the first time yesterday, and was not very impressed with the stock setup. I felt the car was too unpredictable (I think this is because of too much body roll and front/rear weight transfer), and despite it's very responsive and massive (ie, too much) steering, had a very hard push in tight corner.

I run on your generic med traction smooth clay outdoor track with a very tight and technical layout. The truck is completely stock. I have a set of sways on the way as well as a set of aka enduros.

I think what I want to do is; take away some high speed steering, either add low speed steering or make it possible to break the back end loose to get it around tight turns, and reduce roll and weight transfer. What are some things I should look at to accomplish this? The sways will help the roll, but is there a way to reduce roll without sways? I'm thinking about going to stiffer springs to reduce the weight transfer. It sounds like running a thicker front diff fluid will help take away some steering. Will that help or hurt my low speed steering? If I make it easier to break the back end loose, I worry I'll reduce the overall stability of the truck.

Am I on the right track with my thinking? Help would be appreciated. I have seen what this truck is capable of doing and can't wait to get it dialed!
