DCM/Jimmy I took a closer look at the rear end and found what I think is the problem - oversteer/corner entry. I'll post some pics shortly but I found that the rear suspension was hitting the rear of the chassis on compression. There just wasn't enough travel from the rear dampers off throttle into a high speed corner (DCM's post got me thinking - thanks you where spot on!!) Since the Tamiya Spec class disallows any mods of the chassis, I first add the the anti squat shims that are includes in the kit to the rear A12 suspension blocks. It seemed to work but wasn't happy with the arm angle as it took almost 2-2.5mm to provide the needed room. I solved the problem by moving the suspension arms as far back as possible using the shims towards the front v.s. the rear. Simple fix!! I'm running some practice laps tomorrow and will keep everyone posted. Thanks DCM/Jimmy for the input. SO
