Hi matey,

ride height wise for outdoors mine is set at 28mm all round without body fitted... TLR team in USA run from 28mm to 31mm... i run 100g under lipos too!

If you wanted it lower at back you could fit more spacers inside rear shocks but you are only limiting droop which really helps rear grip in corners on 22SCT and makes a big difference in how flat the truck takes jumps .

It's not a buggy matey and the tyre height is obviously a lot more, so you won't be able to run at buggy heights without serious handling issues and driveshaft/outdrive wear... 22mm seems very low for a truck.

Running the front that low won't be helping the initial oversteer.

Out of the box the truck has lots of initial steering as to be expected with 22 platform...

fitting 5 deg castor blocks will calm this a lot (they are included in support pack) you can go further with 0 deg castor blocks if you wish, but i'd try 5 first as they felt good to me.

Moving the castor blocks back by fitting the 2mm shim to the front also calms initial steering grab and generally feels smoother through the corner.

Have you trimmed front tyre spikes? i take off 2 outside rows on front and at least 1 inside row depending on grip levels.

Also Kourse Kings are a flat profile carcass where Schueys are rounded and taller, i've noticed that you get a lot more roll on back end running this combo which can make turn in feel harsh and unpredictable... i think you get a slow response which causes you to put on more lock than needed and then you get a snappy feeling as the car pivots.

might be worth trying a set of Schuey blues up front with the yellow rears, again trim spikes as above.

what pistons are you running in shocks?
