Mine does the same thing with weight up front. Turn in is outstanding but mid and exit sucks. I've tried everything recommended and it hasnt done much to correct the issue. I'm convinced I need a softer spring up front and I'm going to fullsize batteries as well. I know the car can carry more speed through the corners than it is.

Also tire choice makes a big difference describe the type of track you run on.. Then we can recommend some different tires
Also, if you haven't already remove at least one of the ballstud washers on the shock tower side. Helped me gain some steering but im definitely no set-up expert.

Ok well like one person said try loosening the diff a tad it might help, and take one washer out on the front tower ballstud.

If none of that helps, I would try different tires.

Maybe the Worlds setup doesnt work for you go onto AE's website and try a setup that describes your track.

Careful on the diff. If you're 17.5 then you can run the diff a little loose, but if you're running mod I would try other things first to get more rotation.

Full size pack or shorty and where do you have the battery?

You mentioned you changed the rear springs what are you running? If you went to a softer rear spring that will take steering away as well, basically you need the car to rotate more so you could try a harder rear spring and softer front. Take a washer out on the rear ballstud on the tower side (if there is any) that will take some traction away to help the car rotate more which will help with pushing.

Number one thing is making sure you have the right tires for the track. Get that down first, then start looking at your setup.

You can always take out traction from the rear if it's pushing that bad. Reducing rear toe will help in getting the car to rotate mid-to-exit corner. If you need corner entry, you can raise the rear roll center by lowering the inner ball stud, or running a longer rear camber link.

Also, battery placement makes a huge difference, especially if you're running a shorty pack.

Ordered up some new bearings and the X-Factory top shaft, I'll post the results when they arrive but I'm not holding my breath.
