Made some progress today, the bump steer reduction made it steadier, and also lowered the rideheight to driveshafts level as per Spenners suggestion!

Was getting murderous grip roll, but think that may just be Southport from Jimmy's earlier post, probably needed harder shock oil in the front rather than kit 30wt. Still using Aero springs, might try Losi's next time!

Where is everyone on wheelbase now? I'm rear hubs forward and 2 spacers behind on the inside, so could shorten it by one spacer?

Also, couple of questions, getting strong pull to the right under hard acceleration, is this likely to be the diff, or something in the steering?

Finally, found I had very little steering at high speed, then suddenly sharper as it got slow, is this probably down to bumpsteer still (I had dremelled the spindle, but could still use a lower ballstud design if necessary), or more likely the dampers? Its like below a certain speed it suddenly falls over the outside front wheel!
