Thanks again Kirby. With the drag break thing i guess you could put a bit more weight in the back to help it jump a bit more flat i guess but would it make it push a bit more?

Also drag brake like adding a low setting of 3 to 5 but then you compromise your speed and momentum as well as it effects the trucks jumping action usually by nose diving more which you have to learn to compinsate for during jump with throttle control.
As far as radio i was running with -18 steer expo which i changed to 0 after running offroad on VRC awhile. Seemed to help response for me.

well one option is run 45 steer angle which I have started doing at most tracks. I really didnot enjoy running that much steer angle but I decided it was important to do so for competition level in VSC Challenge. It took me about a week to finally start getting comfortable with it and now I really dont want to drive with any angle less than that. As well, learning to drift slightly thru your turning process helps alot - doing this by using slight throttle increase before entry and steady throttle control thru middle and end of turn. The drift is alot easier for me to pull off using the 45 steer angle as well as before when I usually ran 30 to 35 angle. As far as setup I feel your differential settings play an important role as well. Lower numbers tighten up where as higher loosen (for instance Im currently running 35 rear/center and front for Rhein Main). As far as shock oil that can effect it as well, running the 600 with 1 hole will be quickest and as you go down in number thru 550 to 450 and so on you will feel a slight bit more delay in movements on turn actions . I like the 550 with 2 hole on my shocks. Toe adjustment will help as well. 2.5 on rear will really loosen up things as far as turn action which I have used in past but generally keep at -3 for rear. your front toe I usually run 2 have tried going down to 1.5 to 1 often as well but keep at 2 for most part. Shock spring will effect similiar to oil the highest settings which are red and yellow your going to get quicker response and if you go down to softer like blue and green its abit smoother slower feel. I generally run the red and yellow with a 28 rear ride height and 26 in front. There are more options and setting that may help like weight balance that Im still trying to figure out.
