Another quick option you may want to try is move the rear hubs back. That should free up the rear a little and give more rotation. If it doesn't work it will be easy to return it back to your current setup. I assume you will be at Glitch tonight. I will be there for only my 2nd time and not on the new layout. We'll see how my setup works.

Yeah Glitch is the spot! Should be a good turnout. Its the 3rd race of the points series. I'll be in Pro4, Prolite, and superstock buggy. Will be nice to have time in between heats lol. On Tuesdays I'm in every heat, marshallin 1 heat, and getting my s@%t ready in 1 heat. Thanks for the tip on the longer wheelbase. See you tonight.

I had the yellows on the rear with a similar set up and recently went to the white rears, red front. Calmed the car down a bit. The M3 front compound may be your problem. I had the same tires and switched to a softer compound. More front traction. Also you stated your diff is medium tight. I run a looser diff and set the slipper to get about 1 to 1.5 inches of lift when I hold the wheels and punch it. My car is really dialed right now.

I just put a Savox 1257 in my buggy and when I turn either direction and go back to center and leave it, it makes the same noise as when I turn it all the way. It only goes away when I quickly go back and forth really quick. When I disconnect the steering rack from the servo, the steering goes turns easily, there is no binding. Is this normal or is something wrong?

That's the sound of a strong fast digital servo trying to maintain center.

I recently switched to the B4.1 WC from a 22. Initially built with C hub towers/shaved brace, and have been fighting a push ever since. Switched to A towers, all is butter. Just a thought, fyi.

The C hubs really locked the rear in when I ran the short chassis. Haven't given them a try since I've been running the +8.

Loving it much more than my 22 at the moment.

Just to double check this is with timing right? How much timing?

With a reedy 13.5 and timing at about 35* I was geared at 72/32. Came off around 140 and felt good in the track. This was in blinky mode.

I have a savox 1257 does this servo fit into the car easily? I was thinking of using that vs. the lo-pro spektrum servo I have!
