adjusting steering expo to have -15 expo on my Futaba really made a HUGE difference for me. And steering stops also help alot, otherwise when the servo is a full throw the ackerman cant move any further but the hubs have a bit more mechanical movement and will wiggle without the stops and adjust EPA for it as well. I believe Mo's setup uses 1.5 rear anti squat so the middle dot pill would take it up to 2 degrees, double dot Up is 2.5, and single dot up is 3.

I dont run any expo on the steering and really cant get the rear to step out unless I'm out of the line and in the dust. In the groove, man, it's just insane how good it is.
The track I was running at was dry, hard packed, and fairly smooth in the groove. Blockades, Impacts, Cubez, and Catapults all worked pretty well. The Blockades were better over a larger range of conditions but the Catapults were the best for the most part. The Impacts had the worst wear characteristics and the Cubez had the narrowest window for working well (soft compound but needed 80°+ to work really well).
From Mo's setup, I dropped 50cst front and rear. I tried the setup without the LRC pivot block (was waiting on the postman) and it was fairly loose but once install, it totally transformed the setup and really locked the car in. It is a very aggressive setup and begs to be driven the same way, you can really blast into corners and just throw it in without worrying about traction rolls or big slides. I tried 5/5/5 and 5/5/4 and actually like 5/5/5 for that track a little better (5/5/4 would diff out occasionally when I was really on the power mid corner through the higher speed infield turns). If you arent already, 5/5/4 may help you out of bit however. Oh, I'm running a bit more droop than Mo's setup as well but I wouldnt expect that to be a major contributor to your condition unless they're drastically different. I cant remember Mo's ride height off the top of my head but I ended up at 27/27 I think.

Im running Mo's set up and im experiencing a loose rear end on power. Its making it hard to push the car like I would like to. I really love the corner speed, acceleration and the jumping of this car. Mo was right it will out jump my MP9 and carry more corner speed. I was running with some of my friends last night and they all have mp9's. If I was behind them on the straight I was able to cut inside them going into the sweeper with some much speed. It was awesome. If I could just get rid of the car stepping out, that would be great. It does it with the slightest throttle input.
also increase front droop if the rear is getting loose, this will dump more weight on the rear tires

Which expo do you run? + or -? I noticed that when I'm racing I tend to turn the wheel but sometimes on sharp 180 turns I tend to not turn the wheel to full lock. I am trying to work on being smooth and all but I was thinking about using the programming on my mt4 to help make up for my deficiency.

Yes they are proteks. You have to give up the bearings though and fit the slider with a lock nut on the back. The brake mount just needs a longer screw. Not plug and play. If you have built linkage before it's not a problem.
