Default Traction roll on high grip carpet.

my 22 suffer from traction roll on high grip carpet.
I hsve to slow down a quite bit to get around the corner. I have ESC (hobbywing 60A-SD) placed on top of battery pack next to rear motor (mid motor)

How can i reduce the traction roll? im considering to put the ESC in front of car between battery and servo.. but that would put more weight on front wheel causing little understeer as i used to run this config

i want able to take the corner full throttle with pointy steering/no understeer after long straight. I know this car can do it...

Power through? Or just carry more speed than the rest of you?

You are probably stabbing at the steering unsettling the car though that corner which is probably why you are grip rolling.

I've raced against Darren he is super smooth and drives the throttle extremely well and is clearly quick. But his car never looks unsettled.

Try to lower your ride height and/or use stiffer springs.

I would recommend softer springs to stop traction roll and long angled camber links.

I agree softer springs not harder.. Also what shock weight do you run ?

Fist lower car to about 18mm all around front shox middle tower outer on arm rear the same blue front spring yellow or pink rear long link on rear and 2deg camber on rear should be good to go if its still rolling over then put esc in front of battery hop this helps
