Default Need to calm it down

Ran my 410 tonight at a club night on mostly carpet with a bit of polished floor
Basically its an animal!! sooooo twitchy, & its on well used mini-pins, yes i know its gear diff & shaft driven but i cant believe people drive them as twitchy as this! its base set up
What are people doing to calm them down?
Thicker springs? heavier front diff oil? thickest roll bars?

Default 410

Try -30% expo on your tranny (steering)
1.5 camber all round.
What motor are you running ?
40/35 shock oil..12500/7000 diff oil.
Try 8.5 or 10.5 with a bigger pinion . Cut down the rpm and give more torque .ie not as peaky.
If this is your 1st durango as you get used to it you can increase twoards std set up again.
Dont know if its any help but it worked for me !

What do you call base set up?

If you post up what you have now I'm sure we can help.

Ok guys cheers...
40 w front dark blue spring,2 hole piston 1.3
30 w rear light blue spring,3 hole piston 1.3
(tried 1.4mm pistons from a durango set up sheet but obviously even more responsive)
1 degree camber front & rear
13000 diff oil front 100000 cst

Rear sideweights & skid plate weight fitted

9000 '' '' rear 50000 cst
7.5 Novak ballistic motor, lrp sxx esc

@ kartstuffer, i did turn expo rate down to - 30, also slowed servo speed down on transmitter, still an insane handful to drive

I have ordered stiffer springs for both front & rear

Get yourself some 1 degree rear hubs.
And the brass weights would help too.
