Hi,

I have fought with same "problem" on our let say tight carpet indoor track. Most of B4s can easily took over my X6sq in the tight corners.
I run the TRF shocks with original pistons- 1,3 front 1,4 rear- actually with siber asso springs around. Servo front position + 140g ballast behind the servo- lead.
What i have noticed is that the stagger tyres do not give enough grip so the way is to use the yellow minipins and start to set up the geometry of the car to this tyres.

Oil front 30wt rear 40wt....this should give more push on the rear to keep the front on the carpet.

Anyway, as Ellis mentioned.... ballast, thats really the one keypoint of the front grip of X6sq.

hope it helps lillbit.

regards,

Peter

Give this setup a try
If its very high grip it might be worth trying the rear roll bar to
