get the kyosho 777 22 deg. caster front carriers, tighten the servo saver a little (comes too loose out of the box), and ditch the stock tires and get some prolines(preferably LPR) should fix your problem as long as u have a decent servo seeing as the LSP ia a fairly heavy truggy.

What degree suspension holder did u go with? Looked for the 8116 online and found the 8116, 8116-1, and the 8116-2. The 8116 is black plastic and yours looks purple. Also, the plastic A-arm part number you listed is for the lower arms. Is it supposed to be 8005-1? I checked out the Kyosho part # for the ball ends and it is for offset ones. I found part #1296 that looks right. Can you verify. Don't mean to be a pain I just like your setup and want to do the same to mine. Thanks.

Sorry it took me so long to get back on this, I've been out of town for last week or so. 8116 is the part that I used(black plastic), if you bought your LSP new you should already have it, it was included in the box. And yes 8005-1 is the front upper arm I used, I did have to grind about 5mm off of the tierod to get -2 deg caster up front. KYOIS053, are offset and allow for more steering throw without rubbing on the back side of the wheels.

Thanks for getting back to me. The reason I was asking about the ball ends was because yours didn't seem to be offset in your picture. They're the ones at the end of the upper arms correct?

No, they are the steering tierod ends and I hadnt yet installed them in the picture. They replace the stock ones that have been notched.
