I was assuming the truck was in mid motor config as it's a UK Astro track it's running on, so this weight would be of no use.

If it is rear config then i haven't tried it, felt pretty good in mid on a damp track but yet to try in full wet conditions.

It was feeling very light around the rear when coming off the brakes and applying the power in the exit of corners, it's far more catchable than it was, but still need to investigate as to what can be causing it
thats good that it felt better from before,

chances are that it's more than one issue causing traction problems, mine has always felt planted apart from the excess initial turn in on first runs with car.

Firstly.. was the track dry, and how about temperature?

some astro tracks can be slippy when cold and if it is slightly damp then you really need Schuey Silver minispikes on the back also the 50g TLR weight will help traction

Which antisquat shim are you running?

I would say that your shock oils are light for a 2WD SCT, would be worth trying 37.5 in front and 32.5 in back... thicker oils also calm weight transfer under accelerating/braking as well as regular bump damping duties

Did you try any weight under lipos?

Did you change back to yellow spring on rear?

The piston mod is fully recommended too, really sharpens up the handling, particularly helping it settle quicker after direction changes and bumps/jumps
