Sounds like your running heavy on the front oil and light on springs. However, without knowing your track, it would be foolish to suggest a particular set-up. What is your track like (bumps/jumps/surface)?

We stick to Losi set-up sheets for the tracks we run at and only change to one heavier on the springs all around and may go heavier on oil in the rear, but only if we are carrying a heavy pack for a long main or something. Also we go 3,000-7,000wt heavier on the center differential oil than what is in a particular tracks sheet.

Taking 1-2 seconds off your lap times is a mental issue more than a set-up one IMHO. To get that much time shaved off your lap times, I'd practice a lot more than I was previously and look to follow faster drivers to see what they are doing to get around that fast. Not crashing throughout the entire race helps.
