In essence, run Cav's nat's setup but run std ubrace and A hub towers. A towers will lock the rear in more causing a slight push. Start with that. Also remove that weight from the front end and adjust your battery position slowly to fine tune.
You want to get the car to transition fluidly and use the entire chassis through the turns. Hard to describe, but once you hit the right spot, you will know exactly what I mean.
put one washer back on the front ball stud, move your rear camber link back in one, and go with std ubrace (or 2 washers on shaved), put A hub towers on

I'm running 1mm washer up front, and the stock (unshaved) brace out back with a 2mm washer (inside holw as well). I run a shorty pack as well, with a large foarm up front 1.5", the only weight in the rear is the ballast, and I have 14g just in front of the servo (running the Avid rack). The car has a very slight push on power, but will rotate if I come off the throttle.

hmm, you have dialed in a lot of steering with your front changes. I am suprised it pushes. I would loosen up the rear. Might be able to pick a different tire to allow the rear to come around. You rear springs are pretty light also, maybe try yellow/yellow. Some guys have suggested that center mounting your electronics would give you more responsiveness. with your batter way forward, you should have plenty of room to try that out.
Hubs are getting real sloppy ..
What size tap and dye kit do I need to put grub screws in?
Can I get it at homedepot? Where did you get yours guys?
What's te best screw to use? 2-56x 1/8 maybe?
Thanks much, I did a search couldn't find it

I used a dubro 4-40 kit. But.... you really want a bottom tap. I didnt like that way the dubro worked. So look for a 4-40 bottom tap set.
yeah, I have some avids A/C hubs on the way. but you cant mount those on the backside of the hub. Which is what I am doing now. The AE springs seem to be a little wider than the losi ones. The bind up a lot more on the turnbuckle than the losis did. I had a .06 spacer on the bottom and it still rubbed.

I have my avids mounted on the back side of the hub. Look back a few pages for pics.
