The Kyosho Triumph I have been working on alongside this B4 has basically headed in the same direction with the long camber link and high roll center. Interested in any thoughts on this.
You are learning what the car wants. The results shouldn't surprise you unless you believe that being different from everyone else means you did it wrong. A 2wd buggy has lots more mass at the rear than the front and is going to require a higher amount of rear roll stiffness in back to control it. No surprise to me. If you were tuning a 4wd you'd get very different results. Nice work on learning what the car wants rather than copying someone else and hoping they know.
