Think sway bars help?
I just installed front and rear sway bars on my strike and im not sure if its a good or bad thing.
Ihavent tryed on dirt yet just pavement, Ithink im getting more rear traction, actually had to turn punch down to 70% cause i was starteding to wheelie, but as far as turning. I dont know. Before i could tell when i was going to flip and some times i could stop it. Now it just goes. Might be less times but i have no chance to stop before it gets to far up.
Any thoughts?

The punch control limits thhe amount of punch there is, 100% is thee most limiting setting, least punch, and 0% is the most punch. Try runnning it at like 15%-0%, that will make it feel more noramal.
Sway bars limit the amount of body roll, this loads thhe tiires more predicably.
The strike was not designed to run on road, where there is too much grip for it, in other words, it will flip no matter what you do.
Hope this helps.

They should help alot more off road m8 as there designed to stop the chassis leaning into the corner and stops squatting when giving it some power out of them
