Besides bottoming out over overshot jumps, is there any other reason I should change my V2's out to big bores?
I really don't want to deal with the hassle of mounting and finding a springs setup I like.
What would would be a comparable spring setup to V2 Brown and V2 Green.
Seems like V2 Brown and Green works best at my track.

Follow my same advice. Put the Cav Nats setup on BUT change the 3 deg of inboard toe to 2.5 deg of inbord toe. Don't make any other changes until you have run the car a few times that way.
I suspect the reason you feel the push so much is your car is too locked in and just won't rotate. Basically you are "steering from the rear" which you don't want.
Since A towers make the car feel more locked in, I don't think you should change to them. The C Towers will allow it to rotate.
Lessening the toe will also allow you to rotate more but since you will have more consistent traction through out the entire turn, you won't feel like you are super loose. You just have to be a little careful if there are loose sections on the track because you are now freeing up your rear some.
These changes are gradual, so you won't have to relearn how to drive.

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.

No problem!

i don't think A towers make the car more locked in.. it lets the rear roll more. But what do i know
All tracks are not created equal, a C tower is something that was designed for high bite indoor... If you are running a c-hub on an outdoor medium to low bite track your setup is broken.

But to me they made my b4.1 feel so awful. We do all drive differently.
