I have a 22t with incredible rear grip, but in sweepers or really any turn under power I don't have enough front grip, I have "power push" as I describe it. I have tried most tires available, currently running carvers set for aggressive. I am running about 3deg of toe out, soft springs and light oil in front.rear I am medium oil and spring,trying to transfer the power to the front threw anti squat..?
any suggestions?

Pushing exiting a turn? Try less front toe out, a lot less.
Add lead weight to the front?

Less front downtravel, stiffer rear spring, less front toe out, longer wheelbase in rear, move battery forward, less antiaquat, less rear toe in.

Any would help to some degree or another.
Hey Jack, really great group of suggestions! but I want to add some things. Front Droop; some times people take this out of context, decreasing droop is a fine adjustment, don't change more than a 1mm at a time, by un/screwing the bottom eyelet two turns. I actually believe, increasing front droop by a hair will increase front end bite mid corner. Also, front kick, increase, increase mid corner speed; decrease, increase initial corner. As for adding weight, attempt to get the buggy close to 60/40; that is, sixty percent of the weight over the rear tires. It's a good rule of thumb. Try to run the same tire all around as a starting point too (and make sure they are fresh, yeah I know; $). I suppose I could go on however this, in addition to jack's post, should get you close.
