Try a 3 degree toe in on the rear to stop your rear end slip.

But you might lose a bit of top end speed.

I only run on a short tight track but all i have done is upgraded to graphite arms alround and it is good enough to keep up with last years tamiya eurocup winner. in your case maybe go down a spring rate on the rear. It should sit better in the corners.

Yeah, and run a .5 deg hub, making 3.5 deg. It helps cornering too. It doesn't lose any speed to the fact that its noticable.
