Default more steering for 201

Ran my 201 for the first time today at worksop and spent all day trying to find more steering. Better drivers than me also struggled. What needs doing to get more steering? Tried lee martins euros setup but didn't help me much.

Strange?

I have 20gr in the nose, 78gr under the servo and 80gr under the lipo.

The car is planted like this with very agressive steering.

What surface are you racing?

Its rubberised cork at Worksop. I had the same trouble, an initial aggressive amount of steering then nothing mid corner and corner exit - difficult to drive smoothly compared to the similarly set up B4FT i ran last year for sure Strangly, the high speed steering didnt seem too bad, it was the low speed turn in. As if the turning circle was twice the size it should be.

Maybe with this info someone can chip in and offer some setup tips !

Have to admit, as much as the car really suits my driving style so I am doing way better with it than my old b4, on low grip surfaces I have no steering unless I touch the brakes, and no steering on power either!

I know this is apparently backwards but when I was doing go karting I could swear we used less castor for better turn in, 201 standard is 30 isn't it? Option 25? I think the 25 will turn it in better but give even less steering on power!?

I know you guys were trying all sorts during the day, did you end up trying rear blue springs in the end?
