Needs improvement
- Need more overall front 'bite'.
- Need more initial steering (could be symptom of the glued fronts)
- Needs to work better with LTCR

Learned
* Asy Dampeners - deadened the car too much for a 17.5 class. Made the car feel really numb. Needed more reactive dampening rate.

I do generally agree with your observations.

I'm no expert but IMO It doesn't need to work better with the LTCR. The LTCR is the problem. Its the last body I'd use with this car. Turns initially then pushes bad mid corner. Worked a treat with my 417 as the car itself is so unstable. This car is the antithesis of the 417.

Proto Mazdaspeed 6 all the way. Much more natural rotation. Move the wing to forward position and/or cut low to get the desired attack.
