Thanks again for the help Lornecherry.
Differential:
I've added ball bearings all around, so I can check this off the list. I've sanded the diff plates smooth with high grit sandpaper (it was HIGH, just can't remember the exact grit rating), which is definitely worth doing, just be sure you use a ultra high grit sandpaper so you don't increase friction. Anyway, I rebuilt my diff and only lubricated it with a little, light bearing oil. Seems to work well. Both rear wheels spins and work freely, but I'm still not happy with the Kyosho diff. I don't think it differentiates very while, but that's for another topic. I'm gonna keep playing with the provided spacers and may try to find other springs that may work.
Front Suspension:
Again I've added bearings all around so we don't have to worry about that. After buying numerous spring sets, I've finally found a set of each hardness that seats properly within itself with compressing and is nice and smooth. I've just double checked and the front suspension seems to be working properly.
Rear Suspension:
The past couple weeks I've been playing with the Atomic h-plate set. Almost all the h-plates in the Atomic set are softer than the Kyosho plates, but like you said, the stock h-plate works the best on the carpet of anything I've found so far.
Again thanks for all the tips and tricks. I look forward to your next writeup. The only thing that I haven't tried that you suggested were the atomic tires. They're on the list for this weekend's trip to the track. Then again it could be the surface under the carpet, which is quite rough, and my malicious driving. :P
