Default Rear grip lacking

No matter what I try unless it's bone dry the rear of my dex410 wants to push and lose traction. I have the weight kit and 3k rear oil. It just seems like I have to feather the throttle on exiting corners. Any help would be great thanks.

What surfaces are you racing on?

I run between 7k - 10k oil in the rear without grip issues. I think you're using too light an oil.

Things I would recommend trying

- adding rear rollbar (or thicker rear rollbar)
- using the +1 degree rear hubs to give more rear toe-in
- shortest rear wheelbase setting
- longest camber link on the rear hub
- lowest camber link on rear shock tower (I'd recommend lowest middle)
- less rear anti-squat
- LRC RF suspension hanger
- Two-Way slipper

with a few of these changes it should make a pretty big difference.

Hi there
You mention that your car has push, this term is usual for the front end to push that is a cause of understeer, where the rear has more forward traction than the front tyres can handle.
So is it when you apply power that the car turns to quickly or does not turn enough.

Sorry its not pushing on ie understeering. Its oversteering like mad. The rear steps out under the slightest bit of power and even off power corners the backend comes loose. Its not firm in the rear either.

However I have removed the sway bar and the the roll centres are middle of the road. I'm also running long wheelbase so I'll try a few changes as suggested.

If I could describe the handelling it would be like driving a RC HGV with trailer its that bad. As soon as its dry its fast

Please provide your full setup so that we can see where you are currently at.

Also what surface you are running...

Thanks
