Thanks for the tips Lee. I'll be squeezing some time soon to try your suggestions out at the local track.
I noticed that in some of your setups you run a heavier car (70g under servo + weight under the battery), is that a suggested starting point for higher grip surfaces?
Where I run the 201s seem to struggle with:
1) rear grip esp out of corners to line up for the big jumps. I think adding the weight you suggested should help.
2) nose-lifting off the big jumps - in such cases even braking hard doesn't seem to do much to correct the car. I'm just worried if the rear weight will make this problem worse. Any thoughts?
Thanks again for your help - and good luck for the Worlds!
