I also noticed diff oil is quite thick for increased grip too. I am running kit setup 8000 front and rear and run mostly on high-grip astro tracks.

Flex is different on the '16 with the harder side pods, longer chassis braces and lack of top decks.
This gives more overall grip in the car.
Altering of the shock positions, a-arms and moving the motor forward gives more steering.
We also run just the front steering brace and not the 2mm X top deck to gain more steering.
Running a slightly stiffer sway bar allows the shocks to be softer and more forgiving when hitting curbs and landing jumps.
Running the heavier front diff oil helps smooth out that added steering and puts down more power when pushing hard.
Outdoors on high grip astro we usually run 1.6-1.8mm sway bars and 10K for the diffs.
