Comments:

The track we were running on was a low bite loose track ( a good groove, just not alot of traction). We ran full pin Pink Taper pins front and rear, stock foams.

Right off the bat with the stock setup the car pushed alot, traction wise it was ok ( forward ) but just no steering. After several battery packs, I ended up going to this

This made the car feel very stable, and at the same time having plenty of steering. My laps were right there with Robbers, Maifield, Cavalieri, Hodapp ect.. ( Robbers had the fastest of a 17.3, my fastest was a 17.8 ) so in other words the car is right there in the way of being competitive.
