Well I could be being stupid, but a side effect of running soft springs at the back is that if I go into a corner under power I'm getting very little turn in due to the body roll to the outside and also weight transfer and dive at the back. I use the anti roll bar to try to reduce the body roll and bring a bit more sharpness back to the turn in. I believe it generally also allows more grip to be had from the inside front wheel as part of this too so overall corner grip also helped. Without the roll bar and with soft springs it becomes very sluggish to manouver! Ideally I'd use stiffer rear springs but with Lipo it just kills the traction for me to do so!
I use hard roll bar as I struggle to get any effect out of soft/medium tamiya roll bars at all!
