8mm of bump steer? Do you mean external shock limiters? I tried zero washers up from, but it sucked, I am at 5mm right now. With a short front link. Rear is zero washers with inside tower and middle hub for camber link. If I still over steer, then I might try inside on the front tower and just lay that shock down. Also, have you slowed down your servo? That was pretty huge for me, my fast servo made the truck undrivable.

Just to clarify. Bumpsteer is washers under the outside steering link. Bumpstop is on the shock shaft.

wow. The front on mine feels right, just seems like the rear is blowing through the oil, very bouncy.

the main issue im having is the truck is loose in the rear.. cant get it to square up.. when coming onto the straight its hard to get the truck to go straight then the high speed sweeper is always unpredictable.. very loose.. feels like the front is pulling harder than the rear

Good but I have the two-stage pistons. Stock I like 32.5/27.5.
I know I know stay AE but the 2-stage pistons really helped on my bumpy track.

Not sure bout the piston , but the rear spring seems awfully stiff .
Do you still have good grip & steering ?

I actually still push a little, but it jumps and accelerates amazing. I did some math and found a couple balanced spring combos:
Yellow outside/ FBlue inside
Blue outside/ FWhite inside
White outside/ FGreen inside (way to soft but you get the idea)

I feel a balanced spring makes the car overall just better.

It should take away steering in the front and calm it down. You are also running the short camber link in the front right? That servo is not quite as fast as mine, but still plenty fast, might wanna try to slow it down. It made a massive difference for me.
