Smile xxx-4, Help with setup please

Hi,

Basically, having made my xxx-4 silly quick, it now doesn't want to turn (unless I put more power through the wheels and make it drift). Whilst it is is immense fun, I'm just curious as to whether I can help improve turn in. I cannot change the rear diff (it needs to be locked to cope with power). The front diff is currently very loose. Do I want firmer front or rear suspension? Is there anything else I can change to improve turn in?

Thanks in advance,
Alexi

Ps, forgot to add, it is now a lot heavier than stock, with four extra cells on board; here are some pics for your amusement as well:

well usually you soften the fron and harden the rear to get mreo steering.

Yup, that's what Michael suggested. I wonder how much difference it will make. Thanks

Anything else I can do?

I was running the stock wing, as the big one doesn't give any flex for jumping. I will fit the 1/8th wing back again now though, thanks for reminding me

I mean't it will be WORSE with that wing on, just because it will generate so much rear downforce hence giving less steering.

Leave it off and use the stock one.
