Let me see if I can explain how a sway bar works....
You would be not be able to tell if its working by looking at it ...The way it works is when lets say you make a left turn the car weight transfer would be on the right of the car making the car wanting to lift the left wheel of the ground now the sway bar would push the left wheel down,the thicker the sway bar the the the harder the wheel pushes down...hope you understand...anyway try by getting a thicker sway bar ....trial and error.

The bar should be free to move in the slot it rides in on the diff case. Make sure the retaining screws are not too tight. They don't need to be any tighter than is required to keep the bar from popping out of the slot. If you have the RTR storm and are using the included engine, your buggy will handle much better with both front and rear swaybars removed. If you step up the power, put the rear one back and play with the adjustment untill you get the cornering you like. You should never need the front bar at all.
