My own opinion (for what its worth) is that bumpsteer can be a useful tuning aid but to what extent depends on the track surface. If the surface is smooth then adding bump out can as you say calm the car during corner roll but if your track is bumpy and you find your wheels moving up and down independently of each other (like most UK tracks), then any bump steer can make the car feel more vague along the straights.

Old habits die hard - I tend to set my cars up with next to zero bump steer and then leave them - although I can understand the calming nature I've never given it a real go myself.

As for your new track with 150 tons of dirt - you lucky sod. Make sure you make good use of it
Forgive my ignorance- but what you guys have just been discussing sounds like the issue I have:

Mid corner i dont seem to have enough steering- it is almost like the wheels are not managing full steering lock.

Is this because of 'bumpsteer' and if so how do i get rid of it?

The issue occurs with any servo i put in the car. So i know it isn't a problem there.

The car is standard btw
