Default Setup Help

Hey fellas,

Running my X6 Sq on a really rutty/bumpy/breaking hard clay track which is a little abrasive.

Currently running Panther Bobcats up front and Goosebumps on the back (although I am still in search of better tyres).

While overall it's not too bad but its not not 'good', I dont think anyway.

I attached my current setup.

I am finding that it has a reasonably good straight line stability and usually has enough steering through the turns but does not inspire confidence and unless I am being very careful about it, it can be quite unpredictable/tail happy going into/coming out of corners, mid corner is usually great.
It usually isnt gentle about it either, it just flicks around.

This, at the moment is my main problem, I have tried a few different things with setup and Calibers and V1 Barcodes and still find the same problem.

Sometimes I also find when really getting on the power on the straights at first it just wants to dance all over but once it gets going it feels really locked in, also did this with the 4° toe block, not a big issue, I can put up with it/minimize it by being a bit more gentle on the throttle but would be nice to be able to hammer in this section as I tend to loose a bit of ground here.

I'm unsure if its a weight transfer issue or something else.

I have the weight up front to help give a little more steering, before it would always push heaps on power (mid corner or abouts), it improved a bit after putting the weight in.

I would appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Brendan.

EDIT:
What is the part number for the little white adjustable shim set for squat, hub, arm, etc spacing, I seem to have a knack for loosing these.
Also, where can I get ball studs that have a hex in the end so I can easily move them?
