so a couple of things i've tried that has helped so far...
1. Changed the oil in the rear shocks. they were low so i refilled with 40wt.
2. double checked my wing mounts, washers, camber link and they all looked good.
the rb5 turned much better today. I'm gonna try some different springs to see how they react. i think the stock ones are pretty soft.

btw, i cant find how high/low i need to set the adjustable nut on the shocks for front and rear. whats a good setting for high traction smooth surface?

I also noticed that my esc was getting hot so i lowered my pinion gear and in the process of installing a fan on it!
when i have some more money i'll get a better servo too.
let me know if there any other must haves for the rb5.

thanks,
