Well, right now I am experimenting with different front and rear tracks as a way of calming down the car a bit (as in front wider than the rear). The stupid caster doesn't help...



By comparison your FF01 seems to have like 5 degrees of caster the proper way! Imagine a 1:1 car that handles like the TL01. Awesome on a twisty mountain road.... A Blue Ridge Parkway special that is perfect on twisty roads but forces you to correct violently down the motorway switching quickly and unintentionally between 3 or 4 lanes.

PS: Apparently the thing to do is to get the TL01LA upgrade, it fixes the issue. But it is quite pricey as it upgrades every single suspension component other than the shocks... Plus it is rare nowadays!
