I don't remember Kristian running a stealth on it, sure you're not mixing him up with Paul Gardner who used to have a stealth box on his Cougar?
Steve is right about cutting the rear wishbone at the outer end with a hacksaw blade and then screwing it back together from the side to get more toe in. Fybrelyte chassis were common, the aluminium ones bend all over the shop, a front end hit and you get added front kickup.
The steering was gash and needed the servo saver glueing up and replacing some of the links. As James says carbon towers, were essential to improve consistency as were replacing the shocks with something that actually work properly. Traxxas shocks were used quite a lot back in the day along with associated ones. I used Schumcher ones, though god knows why.
Oh, proper carbide diff balls are needed as the stock ones are made of cheese.
To be honest all this is reminding me why I was glad when I upgraded to a Losi XX. The Cobra was good indoors but not very good outdoors.
