Default Sc10 Outdoor Astroturf setup

I'm new to SC trucks and I had my first race meet last week.

I was quite pleased for a first outing, but also realised that the body roll on my SC10 was really slowing me down in the corners.

My Sc10 is a rtr brushless but I've replaced the motor combo with an ezrun 8.5t setup and I'm using Proline Trencher tyres, though I do also have a set of wheels with Kourse Kings on that I haven't tried yet. I was running Gold front springs and green rears with the std kit 30wt shock oil all round. I've also fitted RPM arms.

Anyway, before my next race I've changed the front springs to reds and the rears to blues and put 40wt oil in all round with no.3 pistons all round too.

I've just been for a blast down the street outside and the cornering is much better (and faster) but I still have more body roll than I would like.
Ride height wise it is pretty low at the rear with 5mm of preload spacers each side. It's higher in the front even with no preload spacers.

Research tells me that no one seems to be running sway bars, so what can I do to get rid of some more roll and get it cornering even better ?

Check out Richard Lowes SC10 setups here and here His truck always looks dialed on the track...

You'll never remove the roll it's part of the fun

I do run the thinnest ARB on my truck, not sure it does much though, but I prefer it with it on.

Mine kit standard with blue springs on the front, korse kings on the back,rpm front arms and bulkhead and bumper.
11.5 turn speedpassion combo, good enough to get 2nd a final short course chaos..

I was going to fit an ARB on mine but couldn't with RPM and Hot racing suspension arms.
The body lean looks funny but mine never grip rolls and handles great, I don't care if it appears to roll a lot when it handles so well!

Thanks for the replies.

Well, it was better today, but a bit too twitchy on the back end.
I swpped the front springs to silvers, and it was a little better, think I need to try some slightly softer rear springs and get the geometry set up right. Getting there though.
